With General Motors announcing that the 2024 model year would be the end of the run for the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, we're going back in time to retrieve from our archives one of our all-time favorite photo shoots to tell an amazing story, to celebrate the Camaro's history, and to pay homage to an American classic. This 1986 Camaro IROC-Z convertible, with its original factory white paint finish and black custom cloth interior, is so rare that even knowledgeable Camaro fanatics consider it an urban legend. Only 82 IROC-Z convertibles were produced during the '86 model year, and the whereabouts of most are unknown. This unrestored-original example is the fourth such white IROC-Z Camaro convertible produced in 1986 and resides in the small city of Fenton, Mich., northwest of "The Motor City." |

The Chrysler Laser debuted in 1984, as did its sister car, the Dodge Daytona and was essentially Chrysler's "pony" car of the '80s. A potential car buyer visiting a Chrysler showroom in the mid-to-late 1980s would find a vehicle to suit their needs, unless it was a truck or minivan. Dodge and Plymouth covered the utility vehicle market, and posh Chrysler Town & Country minivans wouldn't hit showrooms until 1989 as 1990 models. Luxury cars such as the LeBaron and New Yorker were front and center, but Chrysler had edged into a more youthful market segment with cars such as the sporty LeBaron GTS sedan and Laser sports coupe. |

Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust - The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust has launched a new exhibition, 'The Women Who Made Their Marque', celebrating the remarkable women that have been integral to Jaguar's storied history, from its conception to the present day. This unique exhibition, held at the Jaguar Collections Centre based at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, highlights just a small selection of the women without whom Jaguar wouldn't be the brand it is today. Inspirational stories of women who made, sold, and drove Jaguars will be brought to life through a curated collection of photographs, documents, artifacts, and vehicles from the Trust's extensive archives. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover the pivotal roles played by these trailblazers in shaping the legacy of one of the world's most iconic automotive brands. |
