Who made the first muscle car?

Answer 1

The GTO is considered the 1st mainly because of how Popular it was and how well it sold. If you really look at the history of American performance cars, Most Muscle car experts would actually say that the first Muscle car was the 1949 Oldsmobiles "Rocket" 88.

There were many cars before the GTO that were High powered and even faster than the GTO.

Same with the "Pony car", Most say it was the Ford Mustang and they would be Wrong... The Plymouth Barracuda came out first... The Mustang Just Sold ALOT.

Answer 2

If one agrees that the first muscle car was the GTO, Pontiac made the first muscle car.
