All the muscle cars everybody is so nostalgic about were just whatever mid-sized cars existed at the time with a big engines stuffed into them. There was no special styling. Except for a badge or two a 454 Chevelle could look exactly like a 6 cyl Chevelle right down to the bench seat and column shifter.
The '04 GTO fit that blueprint perfectly yet the baby boomer morons rejected it because the rose colored glasses clouded their memory of what muscle cars really were back in the day.
