Muscle cars are a fundamental part of American car history; characterized by features such as large V8 engines and sporty, aggressive looks, this automotive category has produced iconic models such as the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. Although the earliest origins of what would become the muscle car lie in models from the late 40s such as the Oldsmobile “Rocket” 88, most people would pinpoint the start of the muscle car era around the mid-1960s.
