  The 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-4-2 Explained - General Motors took the hint when it delivered the 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-4-2. Shuffling onto the burgeoning performance scene in mid-1964 with a "police package" that could be ordered on a four-door sedan was no recipe for muscle-car success.

  The 1969 Dodge Charger Explained - The 1969 Dodge Charger presented perhaps the widest array of choices in the history of the nameplate. There was a base model, an available SE (for "Special Edition") option that heaped on more luxuries, a hot-performing R/T version, and two wild race-bred iterations: the 500 and the Daytona.

  The 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Explained - The 1970 Pontiac Trans Am's standard engine, the 345-horsepower Ram Air 400-cid V-8, furnished low-14-second elapsed times at the dragstrip. That apparently satisfied most buyers, because just 88 of the 3,196 Pontiac Trans Ams built that year got the optional Ram Air IV. That one added bigger ports, better heads, swirl-polished valves, and an aluminum intake manifold, for 370 horsepower, 25 more than in '69.
