Post History...

I think it would great to include some of the cultural and current events aspects that related to the muscle-car era, eg;

-The war in Vietnam...many soldiers returned home and spent their discharge $$ on a high performance car. Our old Marine Corps Nova, now owned by Dan Orland , is a classic example.

-The rock music and 'mod' culture of the late 60's and early 70's was represented in car advertising...Chrysler's stuff was probably the best. The wild colors and graphics on the cars really was a connection to this.

-This was a pretty 'short-lived' era...64-72 by most measures...the environmental awareness of the 60's led to unleaded gas, low compression and high insurance rates...all of these factors helped end the muscle car era.

happy to help further...
