Mention classic American cars and the mind is drawn back to the 1950s. The Classic Car Club of America labels cars built before 1959 as classics. That tag is certainly deserved for cars built and designed during that decade as the American automobile manufacturers revolutionised the designs and technology of cars. Names of the vintage American cars of the 1950s resonate to this very day. The Oldsmobile Rocket 88 Convertible, the Chevrolet Corvette and Bel Air Convertibles, the Dodge B500 Hardtop, the Studebaker Golden Hawk and the Cadillac Convertible and Seville - hallmarks of luxury - remain great examples of American automobile design of that era. The design of American cars during the 1950s was spectacular and their engines were powerful, and good example of that was the Oldsmobile Rocket. Chevy's Bel Air range became one of the most popular vehicles for American motorists with sales hitting the 100000 mark during 1951. The 1950s saw the rise of car designers with the ability to wave their magic on the drawing boards and design the cars which appealed to the American public. The Silver Hawk had plenty of varieties to tempt the dollars out of the wallets of the automobile loving public, coming in the Flight Hawk, Power Hawk, Gold Hawk as well as in a hard topped range.

Mention of great American Cars of the 1950s often brings to mind the name Cadillac, a brand associated with luxury and opulence. The Buick muscle cars known as the GS 400, and the mighty GSX were known as "Gentleman's Cars". Any classic Buick fan will tell you that Buick's marketing strategy was below the Cadillac. Buicks were a noble breed, and often referred to as cars a doctor would be driving. Buicks birth into the muscle car industry happened in 1965. Buick offered Gran Sport options for the Wildcat, and the Riviera. These vehicles were splendid manly-type cars, but not your classic muscle machine. The company came out with a mid-sized sedan with mid-sized performance in the middle eighties with the GNX, and the Grand National that contained V-6 engines. In 1959, these cars were renamed the Electra. A standard two-door convertible and a standard four-door hardtop shared a stripped chassis. 144 of these cars were produced between the years 1959, and 1960. It contained the Dynaflow transmission, and distinctive side trimming, distinctive emblems and a vinyl roof. Buick has used the name "Wildcat" for five vehicles that stem from the fifties, eighties, and nineties. The 1953-54-55 versions were designed under the watchful eye of Harley Earl. The 1985 version contains a mid-sized engine, and is an all-wheel-drive sports car with sporting a V-6 engine.  The name derived from the NASCAR Grand National racing series. The Buick Division at GM built the Roadmaster and was produced between the years of 1936 and 1958. These models shared their design structure with the Oldsmobile's. Buick decided to place the Roadmaster name on a new full-sized-wheel drive model between 1991 and 1996.
