The Chevrolet Camaro making an appearance on How It’s Made is kind of a perfect pair. HIM is a show for people who have the curiosity and the drive to understand the creation of the products they use every single day. In a way, it represents a part of the American spirit that helped build the nation. And a significant part of the country’s innovation and economy comes from the automobile.

One of America’s most iconic cars is the Chevrolet Camaro. In breaking news that none of you know about, Chevy recently released the sixth-generation of the pony/muscle/sports car, and How It’s Made: Dream Cars decided to get a behind-the-scenes look at the construction process.
