Lot Essay

In 1967 to 1969 the Camaro Super Sport was the official "pacecar" of the Indianapolis 500, the most famous racing competition in the USA. Heuer was interested in the American market and to adress a young and motorsports enthusatic targetgroup the name for a new model was obvious. "Camaro" helped to develop new synergestic energies. The core competence in timing great motorsport events helped provide the name Heuer with excellent publicity. The production timeline was between 1968 and 1972.
