What Killed the Muscle Car Twice?

The muscle car has died twice, but it refuses to stay dead. A loophole at Pontiac helped turn the muscle car into a sensation, and the horsepower war that followed gave us some of America's most legendary cars. Then insurance surcharges, clean air laws, new horsepower ratings, and an oil embargo brought the golden age to a halt. Decades later, the muscle car came roaring back, only for the Hemi Charger, Challenger, and Camaro to reach the end of the line. Now, with buyers choosing gas over electric, the fight over its future is on again. This is the story of how the muscle car rose, fell, and keeps finding a way back, from the Rocket 88 and GTO to the Road Runner, Mustang, Hellcat, and beyond. #MuscleCars #CarHistory #AmericanCars
