The Classic USA Muscle car is a term for a high-performance car, by some definitions an intermediate sized car fitted with a large displacement V8 engine. Historically they were all rear-wheel drive, but that changed with technological advance.
Performance became marketing’s big thing for cars in the Sixties and the Mustang Mach 1 was the cherry on the cake for Ford fans… The Ford Mustang is surely the number one, most evergreen example of the all-American car. From its Lee Iacocca-inspired inception on April 17, 1964, right up to its current nostalgia/retro look, the Mustang has always been with us.
