Muscle cars are defined as high-performance, American-made cars often outfitted with a high-octane V8 engine with rear-wheel drive. The peak of the muscle cra craze was in the mid 1950s and 1960s. But interest in these unique automobiles continues today with a resurgence of interest.
There has been a renaissance for interest in the muscle car over the past several years. Enthusiasts attribute this newfound popularity to the fact that today’s generation of adults are embracing the kind of cars they originally fell in love with in their high school or college days. That which was perceived as being “cool” then has become even cooler over time.
