description: Starting in the mid-1960s, a group of American car manufacturers decided to break all the rules and cranked out high-powered, brutally fast, and audaciously styled cars. A new class of automobile was born: the muscle car. From the bulky-but strong 1965 Pontiac 2+2 to the long hood and short deck of the 1970 Shelby GT-500, these high performance vehicles came in all shapes and sizes. However, they all had something in common: they were fast, powerful and unlike anything seen before. These cars were built by GM, Ford, Chrysler and AMC — manufacturers who weren’t afraid to break the rules. As a result, muscle cars became milestones in automotive history.  This collection features a thoughtful inventory of these milestones, including vehicle specs and full color photography. Brace yourself and take a ride through some of the finest examples of all-American muscle.
