The Ford Mustang needs no introduction, and in 2024, it is somewhat in a class of its own. It returned for 2024 with its V8 engine intact and even better than before, refusing to follow the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger to the grave. Ford already gave us the Shelby Mustang GT500, it unveiled the GT3 race car and even gave the world the Mustang Dark Horse.

How Ford's 800-HP Factory Mustang Is Going To Embarrass Supercars

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

For more than 160 years, Macy's has been much more than a department store. It's a cornerstone of American shopping, with generations eager to buy everything from back-to-school clothes to holiday gifts.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The new Mercedes-AMG GT isn’t the sports car it used to be. These days, the V-8-powered two-door from Affalterbach is more of a grand tourer, with a roomier interior and a wider range of capabilities thanks to standard all-wheel drive, which comes at the cost of added weight. While it’s not as driver-focused as the previous car, the new GT does the cross-country missile thing very well.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
