Behold the 1949 Packard Model 8, a car so luxurious it makes Cadillacs of the time look like mere horseless carriages! Under the hood, it boasts a 327 CID Inline 8 engine, perfect for roaring down post-war streets in style. With a three-speed manual transmission, it offers a driving experience smoother than a freshly waxed dance floor. In 1949, 116,000 of these beauties rolled off the line, proving that Packard knew a thing or two about creating automotive elegance.
Get ready to experience the thrill of the American Muscle Car Challenge at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where you can channel your inner speed demon by racing iconic muscle cars at up to 140 mph. It’s a petrolhead’s paradise where the roar of engines and the smell of burning rubber are your companions. If you’ve ever dreamed of driving like a Hollywood action star, here’s your chance—but remember, no stunt doubles allowed!
The Bentley SSS C2 1965 is a true unicorn of the automotive world, with only two ever made and neither seeing the race track. One rests in the Bentley museum in the UK, while the other was last spotted galloping “somewhere in the U.S.A.” This rebellious duo defied Bentley’s anti-racing stance, packing a roaring 6.23 L V8 under the hood. Equipped with a supercharged twin four-barrel carburetor, it’s ready to break speed limits—or at least, the sound barrier. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for capturing this beast in its natural habitat!
