The History Of The American Muscle Car
The automotive world is full of history in every corner of the world, from the drifters of Japan to the road racers of Germany. Still, one particular nation's passion for all things automotive exceeds all others. That country is the beautiful United States Of America, and there is undoubtedly a ton of history in our nation's automotive past. Most people know the US for the great muscle cars and pony cars whose primary concern is the drag strip, but not everybody knows the incredible story behind these power-hungry cars.

Top Gear’s American Muscle Cars Episode Was Revealing
Way back when Top Gear was still worth watching, Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond embarked on a wonderful journey across the western United States. You might remember the episode where the boys drove different American muscle cars (actually, only one was truly a muscle car, but don’t expect the Brits to understand that). There’s plenty of cringe in the episode, showing how Europeans tend to lean toward elitism, even though most of them are average by definition.

December Marks The Anniversary Of The End Of The Plymouth Superbird
The 1970 Plymouth Superbird is possibly one of the most famous vehicles to ever hit the various tracks of the NASCAR circuit for their incredible performance, eye-catching style, and dominating presence on the racetrack. While these cars were not best sellers on the sales floor, they quickly became an icon of American speed and determination. Everyone from Ford to Chevy could do little more than stare in amazement as these ridiculous cars beat their best drivers into a pulp and take home the first-place prize. Unlike the ’69 Daytona, the Superbird’s sister car previously regulated to at least 500 units, 1,920 Superbirds had to be produced as NASCAR had changed the homologation rules to prevent manufacturers from building cars specifically for racing.

Garage Built 427 Stroker 1965 Ford Mustang Will Steal Your Heart
In 1965 Ford had a dream, a dream of making automotive history and cultivating a fan base unlike any other in the industry. The brand already had a great muscle car in the Mustang so it was time to take things up a notch. Long story short, they went out and did exactly what they set out to do. This particular car guy picked up exactly what Ford was laying down and eventually made his very own unique custom classic capable of beating any new model on the road in a race.

1965 Impala Commercial Will Make You Cry
For normies, a car is just a way to get from point A to point B. There’s nothing wrong with that, per se, but what they fail to understand is when an enthusiast absolutely falls in love with their ride. The connection between man and machine is similar to the connection a rider feels with his beloved horse; there’s a spirituality as the two work together to achieve the euphoria of freedom. That spiritual connection between an enthusiast and his long-lost car is what this Chevy commercial featuring a 1965 Impala SS is all about.
