You could describe it as muscle car eye candy: This year’s Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals featured everything from a comprehensive collection of Yenko Chevrolets to a stunning 1968 Dodge Charger that earned a perfect score in the Platinum Pick Concours…plus appearances by the likes of “Miss Golden Shifter” Linda Vaughn and Diane Sox, wife of the legendary Ronnie Sox. Rich Truesdell reports on his favorite discoveries, including a rare 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Cherokee.

A preview of this weekend’s celebration in Chicago of the automobile’s hydrocarbon-infused past.
