American Muscle Cars

            American Cars are a part of American history. They date back to the mid 1900's. I have been around Muscle Cars almost all of my life. My family for example, we have a 1969 Ford Mustang and 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback. My grandfather owned a Ford Torino at a time too.  They are both stunning cars and will throw you back in the seat when you put the pedal to the floor and you better hold on!

            The top of the line Muscle Cars are made from Ford, Chevy, and Dodge.  Ford has the Mustang, Gran Torino, Torino, Fairlane, and Falcon.  Chevy’s is the Camaro, Corvette, and Chevelle.  Dodge has the Charger and Challenger.  Then you also have Pontiac which has the Trans Am/Firebird and the GTO.  Mercury has the Comet and Cougar.

            Those are most of the muscle cars but there are some others.  If you ask your relatives that lived in the late 60’s and early 70’s, they will tell you how the cars were made for speed, not fuel economy.  I really wished it could still be like that.  They were built usually with steel, but you could purchase aftermarket parts to make it lighter and even faster.
