In a tale that drives through history, we rev up with the Michelin brothers who inflated our journeys in 1891 with their pneumatic tire. Fast forward to 1902, where Kenosha, Wisconsin, gave birth to the Rambler, while by 1972, cars had multiplied to 224 million, with the USA hogging half. Ralph Nader threw a wrench in the works with “Unsafe At Any Speed” in 1965. Meanwhile, Toyota parked itself in Kentucky in 1986, and by 2006, GM and Chrysler were on a bailout joyride. Buckle up for an automotive rollercoaster!
Rev up your nostalgia engines—it’s time to talk about the classic 1966 Dodge Coronet 500, factory-fitted with the legendary 426 Hemi V-8. This beauty is rarer than finding a needle in a haystack, except the needle is a roaring powerhouse of American muscle! With such low mileage, it’s like the car’s been in a time capsule, probably too busy sipping tea and reminiscing about the good ol’ days. Ready to be blown away? Check it out and prepare to drool like a kid in a candy store!
The 1966 Pontiac GTO, affectionately dubbed “The Goat,” didn’t just break sales records; it kicked them to the curb with a whopping 98,946 units sold. Despite Pontiac’s attempts to market it as “The GTO Tiger,” the quirky nickname stuck like gum on a shoe. With two beastly V8 engines and four transmission options, this car was a gearhead’s dream. The tri-power option met its demise midway, replaced by the XS engine, but it didn’t quite roar with consumers. Only about 35 XS beasts were unleashed by the factory!

The 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury 361 Commando Convertible is here to steal the spotlight, factory-fresh in black with a red interior so bright, it might just startle your grandma.
