As was done for model year 1967 and 1968 Camaros, there were several contests, sweepstakes, games and raffles that gave away model year 1969 Camaros to those that participated. This thread will document these giveaway model year 1969 Camaros through newspaper articles, advertisements, photos and memorabilia associated with each particular contest. Through my research I have not only been able to find a copious amount of information about these sweepstakes, contests, games and raffles but in several cases I have been able to put names and faces to those who actually won the Camaros so many decades ago.
Perhaps you may remember a family member, friend, co-worker, neighbor or even yourself participating in or even winning one of these contests. If so, please share your recollections.
Separate threads have been created for the first two 1st generation model year Camaro contests:

To identify the particular newspaper, the publishing date and their location simply consult the file name under the image.
Enjoy!
