In 2007, not only did we see an amazing movie with the coolest CGI, but the return of the classic Chevrolet Camaro. Transformers reintroduced us to the Camaro in a new form. The 5th generation model was to come out in 2010. Michael Bay, the director, had a close relationship with GM and was able to use a concept of the 5th gen Camaro in his film. This car was of course the loveable Bumblebee.
When the movie starts we meet Bumblebee as a 1977 2nd gen Camaro. Later on in the movie, Bumblebee scans a passing 5th generation Camaro and “transforms” into the car we all know and love. To make Bumblebee, Bay and the team at GM made molds of the 2006 concept of the 5th gen that was touring around to auto shows.
We here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center hope you enjoyed another segment of Movie Cars. Stay tuned for more to come and have a great rest of your week!
