The Art of the Muscle Car

Muscle Car History
Muscle cars are powerful machines that are also beautiful to look at. Car makers started building them in the 1960s because people wanted faster cars that were fun to drive that were affordable. Classic muscle cars were made through the 60s and the 70s until the energy crisis made gasoline too expensive.
The cars that were made in this period are now considered legends and collectors items, and can cost lots of money to buy.
