Chevrolet and Cadillac Automobiles Lead Upcoming Mecum Auctions Sale

For the 1967 model year, Chevrolet launched the first-generation Chevrolet Camaro, a muscle car, in late 1966. A rear-wheel drive hardtop or convertible was available on this model. There were several packages offered on the first generation, but only three of them were standard: RS, SS, and Z/28. A performance package, the SS featured a 350 cubic inch or 396 cubic inch V8 engine, suspension, and drivetrain upgrades, along with ‘SS’ lettering and side stripes. The first-generation Camaro was manufactured by Chevrolet until 1969 before being replaced with the second-generation version. A 1969 Chevrolet Camaro L89 will be a key highlight in the upcoming Houston 2023 sale, presented by Mecum Auction Company. The 1969 Camaro offered several engine options, but the L89 aluminum head big-block engine stood out as the most uncommon. By using aluminum heads, NHRA Super Stock race cars can deliver more horsepower while reducing front-end weight, improving front-rear weight distribution.

Another striking vehicle on offer is a 951 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe. There were a number of Cadillac models produced between 1940 and 1964 under the Cadillac Series 40-62. As a complement to the Cadillac Series 61, in 1959, it was renamed Cadillac Series 6200 before being changed to Cadillac Calais in 1965.
