In the roaring 1950s, Bill Devin, the maestro of fiberglass, crafted a masterpiece with his Devin Roadster. This wasn’t just any car—it was a speed demon with a 283 Corvette engine, roaring from 0 to 60 mph in seven seconds, leaving other cars eating its dust. With only 16 ever made, spotting one is like finding a needle in a haystack, except this needle can go 130 mph. Thanks to Devin’s wizardry, it’s the car equivalent of a unicorn on steroids, with the style to match.

The Dodge Charger burst onto the scene in 1966, a sleek, fastback beauty that made its Coronet cousin look like the introverted sibling at a car family reunion. Luxuriously priced at $3,100, it was like a Marlin with a snazzier hat. Boasting hidden headlights and a taillight grin, it packed options from a 318-cubic-inch engine to the roaring 426 Hemi.
