In the early 1960s, Pontiac was trying to find a new way to attract the youth market without involvement in competitive motorsports. John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee, and Bill Collins, along with a group of Pontiac engineers, crammed a 389 cubic-inch V8 into a midsize Tempest and took it to GM’s Milford Proving Ground. The Tempest was an instant hit, and would become the 1964 Pontiac GTO. First-year GTO production was slated to be 5,000 units, but more than 32,000 orders came in. The people at Oldsmobile wanted to cash in on the GTO’s success, so they created the 442 package for the Cutlass. The Oldsmobile 442 was named for the four barrel carb, four-speed transmission, and dual exhaust.

A 1966 Corvette Stingray, a car that traversed the 2,266-mile expanse between Hollywood, California, and Wayne, Michigan twice before its final resting place, is part of an extraordinary three-car collection. Sharing its garage since the early 70s is an untouched 1973 Corvette, while a 1949 DeSoto has held its position between the two sports cars for nearly half a century.

As has historically been the case, the debut of the all-new 2024 Ford Mustang was quickly followed by the release of a large number of new parts and accessories for the S650 generation pony car. Long one of the most popular models to customize, the newest Mustang carries on that tradition of giving owners countless options when it comes to altering the looks and performance of their rides, with Roush Performance continuing to add to that list.

GM pulled the sheets off the refreshed 2025 Cadillac Escalade in mid-July, showcasing new exterior styling, a cockpit highlighted by an enormous 55-inch screen, a reworked engine lineup, and more. Furthermore, it appears that three exterior paint colors that were already built out for the 2024 Cadillac Escalade will be unsurprisingly retired from the 2025 palette.

Debuting in 1964 as a performance upgrade for the Pontiac Le Mans, the GTO quickly became a legend. This muscle car, born from Pontiac’s clever work-around of a General Motors performance restriction, ignited a craze that would grip the American car market for years. Initially offered as an option package, the GTO’s immense popularity led Pontiac to raise it to a standalone model by 1966.

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

The Cadillac Celestiq serves as the luxury marque’s range-topping ultra-luxury sedan, offered as an exclusive, highly customizable all-electric four-door for well-heeled buyers. However, the Cadillac Celestiq is also meant to be driven on public roads, and as such, it requires a VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, which is a unique combination of numbers and letters that provides basic information on what the vehicle is.

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.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.
