Muscle cars always were, and always will be, a quintessentially North American phenomenon. The basic concept is something like this: take a mid-sized American sedan, nothing comples, upmarket or fancy land add the biggest, raunchiest V8 that it is possible to squeeze under the hood; and there it is. This book takes you through the forerunners to the muscle cars, the original GTOs, through Mustangs, Camaros, Hemis, Firebirds/Trans Ams, and other muscle cars, including drag-racers.
