The American muscle car represents a time of boom, power, and endless resources. These magnificent vehicles ruled the roads during the mid 50's and 60's; a post WWII era in which living in the United States was happy and without limitation. It is hard to deny the impact that muscle cars had on life, because of what they represent. Today, seeing such a vehicle can immediately bring back memories of past life and culture. " Speed and power are compelling qualities, so it's no surprise that muscle cars were such a happening back in the 1960s and continue to hold an allure that transcends decades and generations."
