Eras
4 distinct periods of automotive history, each with its own character.
Post-War Era
1946-1963
America's automotive renaissance. Chrome, fins, and optimism on wheels.
Chrome everywhere — bumpers, trim, grilles Tail fins that grew taller each year Two-tone paint schemes
Muscle Era
1964-1973
The golden age of American performance. Big engines, straight-line speed, and style that still turns heads fifty years later.
Big-block V8 engines as standard or optional Aggressive styling with hood scoops and stripes Affordable performance for the masses
Malaise Era
1973-1983
The dark ages of American automotive performance. Emissions regulations, fuel crises, and corporate cost-cutting produced some of the strangest and most overlooked vehicles in history.
Smog-choked engines with plummeting horsepower Bumper regulations creating ungainly designs Downsizing from land yachts to compact experiments
Modern Classic Era
1980-1995
The cars that defined Generation X. Boxy, reliable, and increasingly collectible.
