BIRMINGHAM, Mich. (AP) – A 1967 Chevrolet Camaro is being added to the National Historic Vehicle Register. Historic Vehicle Association president Mark Gessler tells The Detroit News that it’ll become the 15th car on the list during a news conference in Birmingham on Wednesday. Corey Lawson bought the car in 2009 after seeing it for sale on online auctioneer site eBay. He and his son, Logan, restored it using original parts. Author Philip Borris later uncovered the original factory paperwork, which verified the car was the first Camaro made. The addition to the register comes ahead of Saturday’s Woodward Dream Cruise, an annual Detroit-area celebration of classic car culture. It draws tens of thousands of classic and vintage cars and hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts to Woodward Avenue between Detroit and Pontiac. Chevrolet is celebrating its 50th anniversary at this year’s event.
