American Muscle: Ford Mustang
Author: OuttaTime
Though it wasn’t the first muscle car, the Ford Mustang is quite possibly the most recognized muscle car in America’s past. While the newer Ford Mustangs offer a much smoother ride and more luxurious features, nothing beats the roar and the power of the classic 1950s Mustangs. These classic automobiles revolutionized the industry with their unique headlights, shape, and powerful engine. The older Mustang models are some of the most prized possessions at classic car shows.
Mustangs, for all their grace and power, have become so well recognized in America that the car has generated an entire line of paraphernalia. Whether purchasing a Mustang clock for your garage, a Mustang lamp for your den, or a Mustang watch to wear most everywhere, owners of these amazing automobiles are proud to display their enthusiasm, and with good reason!
The Uncertain Future of Jeep
Author: OuttaTime
There’s been a lot of discussion in the media lately about the uncertain future of Chrysler, the makers of Jeep. While the other major American automakers, GM and Ford, seem to have a plan to increase sales and secure their future, Chrysler has floundered much more than the other two. For decades Jeep, one of Chrysler’s brands, has been the premier maker of the unique Jeep vehicles first commissioned by the army. Whether you’re in a Wrangler or an old CJ-7 or CJ-5, the classic Jeep vehicle has a unique look that is seldom mimicked with success.
It’s sad to think that Jeep could be gone forever, though it seems likely that some rival automaker would want to pick up the brand name at the least. With an uncertain future, Jeep enthusiasts have begun to stockpile their paraphernalia including Jeep watches, Jeep clocks, and Jeep license plates. It’s a great time to secure one of these timeless collectables while they’re still being produced.
