Good to see yet another reference to the TRUTH: "The auto manufacturers soon got in on the action and by the mid-1960s were assembling their own factory blessed go-faster specials–muscle cars, which were created by stuffing big car engines in intermediate bodies."

I get so tired of hearing Fullsize, Compact, Pony, and Sports car owners claiming their rides are now Muscle cars so they can cash in on the popularity of these rides. Muscle cars were, and always have been, intermediate/mid-size coupes/convertibles.

This however is wrong: "Chrysler paid Warner Brothers $50,000 to license the name of their infamous cartoon character for use on the car, as well as the signature beep-beep call for the horn." The Chrysler license was for the images of the Roadrunner, not the beep beep of the horn. That was the result of Jack Smith finding a horn that sounded similar to the TV sound.
 
Very cool and informative article. Thx for posting. I've always loved the a12 cars - in fact semi-cloned my GTX after one. It's nice to know all the hard facts.
