Now available in paperback, it is the only definitive history of muscle cars from the emergence of the V-8 engine, through baby boomers, to today's million-dollar collectibles. Unlike anything seen before, these were brutal, exciting machines, built for speed and power, and quickly became defined as vehicles for the rock-and-roll, sex-and-drugs generation. A chronicle of this period in history through it's signature automobiles, this brings to life the history of American Muscle Cars from Hot Rodding after WWII right up to the new breed of Muscle cars coming out of Detroit today. With David Newhart's exquisite photography and text that pulls no punches, this is the definitive resource and history for Muscle cars.
