The Cadillac Series 62 from 1954-1956 was where luxury met innovation, with features like the “Florentine” rear window and headlamp visors giving it a style all its own. With options like power seats and auto-dimming headlights, it was the epitome of ’50s tech. Engines roared with 0-60 mph in a “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” 17.3 seconds! By 1956, sales skyrocketed, helped by the addition of power steering and new models like the Eldorado Biarritz. This Cadillac was truly the king of the road!
Nothing quite revs up the thrill like an American muscle car, with their roaring engines and sleek, bold designs. They’re the ultimate road companions that scream high-performance fun. But in today’s economy, how do fans afford these beasts? Enter the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, a true powerhouse that’s evolved into a leaner, meaner sports machine. Or consider the classic ’69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator, a nostalgic nod to its Mustang sibling. These rides, no matter the cost, are irresistible to enthusiasts everywhere.
The Ford Mustang’s storied history boasts numerous custom editions, yet the 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake stands at the pinnacle, partly because Shelby made just one prototype. This one-of-a-kind beast fetched a jaw-dropping $1.3 million at a Mecum auction in 2013, proving that sometimes, one is indeed the loneliest—and most lucrative—number. Fast forward to 2017, and Shelby commemorates this legendary machine with a 50th Anniversary Edition, celebrating half a century of tire-squealing glory.

Enter the 1968 Dodge Charger with high hopes and… questionable aerodynamic choices. Its recessed rear window and sunken grille were about as useful on the track as a chocolate teapot. But fear not, Dodge fans, because every underdog has its day—just like every Charger has its curves.
