Moot point really, since there is no automobile named "camero".
Camaro on the other hand really is a French word. Granted, it's not commonly used, but its meaning is along the lines of "buddy" or "pal". It's a less formal version of "camarade".
Who was jailed at the end of WW II for colaborating with the Germans and died in jail in 1944, resulting in the nationlisation of Renault.
However the Renault group of companies (as it was to become) started out as a family business manufacturing and selling textiles and buttons. To company was run by Fernand and Marcel Renault following the death of there father (who founded the company). Youngest brother Louis was only interested in engeneering and it was this passion that lead to the automotive side of the business starting.
Louis also invented and patented the first 'direct drive' gearbox and to prove its abilities made a bet that his car (I use the term quite losely) could climb a 13 degree slope. A feat that was achieved on Christmas Eve 1898, with 12 orders for teh car being placed after he won the bet.
Renault were also at the forefront of early motorsport, notching up multipule wins in the infamous city to city races that were the norm at the time. His brother Marcel Renault was an early victim of motorsport, he was killed in the 1903 Paris - Madrid race.
the top of the piston? or the actual cylinder head, or the valve cover? Lots of Chrysler's motors were a reddish orange.... Forgive me for being a bit confued.
The cam covers & the sides of the engine block where painted a bright monza red, not the headers. I guess the red head should be called red cam cover in Italian.
