Explanation

The 1964 Pontiac GTO is widely considered by automotive historians to be the first true American muscle car because it packaged a large V8 engine into a mid-sized coupe. While the Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger, and Chevrolet Camaro are iconic muscle or pony cars, they were released or popularized slightly later.
