Muscle Car

Uploaded: May 05, 2012

Description

In 1949, a new era in the U.S. automobile industry began. This was the beginning of the horsepower race, the super cars and eventually the muscle car. The 1949 Olds Rocket 88 was the first step to what would become the first sustained march into the muscle car era. Within a few years, the big engine little car concept would become an industry wide trend.

Pictured is a 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass which is being restored by a neighbor's friend.

The first Oldsmobile Cutlass was an experimental sports coupe designed in 1954.
