History Lesson

Camoria Automotive would like to take a look back at some of our models throughout the years.

Camoria Mission:
After the success of the 1954 Camoria GTC, Camoria Automotive figured it was time to move into the world of mass-produced family vehicles. After a few years of design and practice, the 1957 Camoria Mission was introduced at the Philadelphia Auto Show, in recognition of the city where Babs Camoria graduated from college.

Image
The Mission uses the 1954 base version of the Camoria GTC, which was also featured in the Wagonette concept, which is featured earlier on in the thread.

*(Please keep in mind that the cost and maintenance on the engine above is not adjusted for deflation. The price is modern-day.)


Camoria Link:
Fast-forward to 1967, and Camoria Automotive is doing very well. After the release of the '65 GTC, Camoria once again released shortly after a car with GTC looks, but was also affordable.
Image
This car uses the BabCam 1, and engine named after Babs Camoria. It is pictured below:

I like the Link! It looks great, and it looks like a wolf in sheep's clothing :D

Camoria C-Style Redesign

After some reflection on the design motifs of the 2014 model year, Camoria Automotive has decided to take some of the positive queues liked by the public and focus on them, while adding some new motifs. Here, we introduce the C-Style redesign for the 2015 model year.

Camoria C-Style
Image

Motifs:
Headlamps: Known in Camoria Automotive as the Horus Headlamp Project, the headlamp/vent design stems from the Egyptian Eye of Horus design, featured in their mythology and make-up design (featured below).
Image
Grille: The Fanged-grille adds to the aggressive style of the headlamps. It combines style with functionality.
Taillights: Looking back in the 90s and early 2000s, the idea of a continuous bar of headlamps was very popular. However, one of the fault in the designs is that the lights didn't light up all the way across (picture featured below). The idea was ambitious but bogged down by technology inefficiencies. Camoria Automotive is excited to bring back the style, but with the futuristic technology which makes it a continuous bar.

History Lesson Part 2: Historicalier

Ah, the 1970s, home to some of the best and worst automobiles ever made. The 1970s saw the production of great American classics such as the Mustang Mach 1, the Challenger R/T Hemi, and the Plymouth Superbird.


Have you noticed something interesting about all of those cars?

They were all made in the early 1970s. The size of the American car was growing in direct relation to the size of the average American's waistline (I can say that; I'm American).

Mustang Mach 1?
Image

How about a Mustang II
Image

I was looking on Craigslist the other day (car shopping, my favorite activity), and I stumbled upon a Thunderbird from the 1970s. Keep in mind that the Thunderbird was their flagship, "were-better-than-corvette-because-reasons" car
Here "it" is:
Image

You wanna know my favorite part of that car is? Read it aloud:
Landau Tops
While saying that did a leisure suit just appear on you? Oh god, you're humming along to The Partridge Family, aren't you?

Anyway, the reason why I bring these up is because Camoria Automotive went through this era. We'd like to think that we came out the other end relatively successful, too. Here's what we did:

We stuck to the classics

We saw beyond the trends of opera windows and green leather interior. We knew what the American people wanted because we delivered what the American people wanted for 20 years before that. We stuck to our ideas about design:

Unity
Flow

These ideas propelled us through the 1970s. Were our cars as successful as the trends of that time? No. But, here's the thing:

That 1974 T-Bird? That was for sale for under $5k. When I was searching through craigslist the same day, I saw a Camoria from the same year:
$30,000. I checked on that car a day later. Sold

Most cars from the 1970s age like milk. Camoria's age like fine wine. Our cars are great, and will always be great because we stick to our ideas. Like we said in our previous messages, "Why make a car that won't be a classic?" Did the designer of that T-Bird really think that it was going to be a future classic?

Camoria Baton

The car, found on craigslist, is listed below.

Camoria Baton

The 1970s saw a change in automotive engineering, and the introduction of a strange word: Environment *cue "dun-dun-dun music*

Camoria Automotive, however, was more than happy to explore the new frontier that is good gas milage

They fit to a car already in production, the Camoria Baton, a new engine concept:

Babcam Eco:
Image
For 1974, this was legendary.

Here is the car:
Image

The Camoria Baton (Rouge) Frontier was one of the first intentionally good-gas-mileage-getting cars in the US. This did not restrain it, however, from big large and comfortable, two of the biggest demands from the American public. The design of the front is inspired from the '65 GTC, but with some of-the-time modern styling. A bar splits the headlamps down the middle to give it a unique spin on the regulated headlamps of the time.

Tell us what you think!

SP-94 Series

Here are some engines used in Camoria Cars in the 1990s.

They all revolve around the Sculpted Physics engine series

Camoria Olympia

Nothing says the 1990s like a CRX body and sleek, thin, headlamps.

The Camoria Olympia uses all of the engines posted above. The models shown here use the 94T and the 94V8

Re: Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

Thank you so much! We are not going to stop trying to make our cars better, though. In the future we'd like to see our cars get on average double the mpg they do now.
