[net.auto] Atrophy of Muscle Cars

stan (04/15/83)

Before people start saying that the first muscle cars appeared in the
60's, what about the Ford (or whatever) Thunderbird in the 50's?
Although I have never driven one, the size of the engine and some
of the options available for it gives the idea that pure power was what
they were after.  I think these cars appeared ~1955.  Does anybody have
any info about them?
