American Horsepower: Fast, popular, and empowering, muscle cars were a celebration of the 60's American automotive performance. In this hour, we'll take a look at muscle cars: what they are, where they went, and their dynamic return.
Long synopsis: They hit the road in the '60s and took off like rockets. Wicked fast, wildly popular, and positively empowering, muscle cars were a celebration of American automotive performance. Then all too soon, the party ended but not for everyone. In this hour, we'll take a look at muscle cars: what they are, where they went, and their dynamic return. We'll see how the big automakers pumped up their product - starting with the first true muscle car, the GTO. We'll meet the folks who never gave up the dream: the racers with their lust for speed and the bodybuilders, devoted to maxing out their muscle cars.
