American muscle cars have had a wild ride since the 1930s, captivating drivers with their power and style. However, the 1970s threw a wrench in the gears with regulations and soaring gas prices, leaving muscle cars in the dust. But like a phoenix on wheels, they roared back in the 1980s, thanks to Ford’s Mustang G2 and GM’s Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. Despite their ups and downs, these iconic cars continue to rev our hearts, proving they’re not just a flash in the tailpipe.
At Mecum Auctions, car enthusiasts get the thrill of the chase without a seatbelt. Unlike those hands-off car shows, Mecum lets you rev up your inner speedster at the world’s largest collector-car auction in Kissimmee. Imagine chefs trading recipes for horsepower as they dish on their dual loves: culinary and carburetors. Meanwhile, the Corvette is still the top dog in the premium sports coupe kennel.

In 1940, Oldsmobile revved up the American auto industry by introducing the first fully automatic transmission, making gear shifting as obsolete as a chaperone at a school dance. Fast forward to 1948, and their model numbering system was as simple as a game of bingo: the first number indicated the body type, and the second, the engine size. So, if you ever find yourself in a time machine, just remember—Oldsmobile was always a “66” to “98” kind of ride, unless it was wartime, then it was just a good nap.
