Happy 45th Birthday, Chevy Camaro!

Here's the TV commercial that first introduced the Camaro to the U.S. public back in 1966.
Quote:
Volcano! Alive! Camaro! Fiery new creation from Chevrolet. Camaro! The new car that’s something else; something you’ve never seen before in a driving machine. This is the SS-350…
Man, who wrote this ad copy? Don Draper?
