SpeedKore’s carbon fiber beauties are making jaws drop at SEMA 2016!

The Oldsmobile Rocket 88, from 1959 to 1962, was a tale of transformation. It started in ’59 longer, lower, and with less chrome—like a diet plan for cars. By 1960, it had a new grill and a slimmer transmission, proving even cars need to watch their waistlines. In ’61, it swapped leaf springs for coils and introduced the Starfire, the first American car with a console-mounted shifter. By ’62, it had oval tail lights and a color-changing speedometer, ensuring drivers knew when they were speeding—perfect for those with a lead foot!
Rev up your engines and take a ride through Chevy’s legendary Big Block W series! From the 409’s thunderous entrance in ’61, celebrated in the Beach Boys’ hit “409,” to the mysterious 427, a drag racer’s dream and Daytona record-setter in ’63, these motors packed a punch. With horsepower soaring to 425, Chevy’s engines were the stuff of dreams—and maybe a few nightmares for competitors. As the ’60s roared on, the Turbo-Jet V8 brought even more power, leaving tire marks on history!
In the world of American automobiles, the muscle car reigns supreme, embodying power and legacy. But what truly makes a car a muscle car? It’s more than just being a classic; there’s a blend of aggression, speed, and that unmistakable V-8 growl. Picture a 1985 Pontiac Trans Am Kammback, a muscle coupe with the quirkiness to match its power. And if you’re struggling with muscle car lingo, fret not—it’s as colorful as the cars themselves, making it a language worth revving up for.
