Interestingly, I'm buying a 56 T'bird for SWMBO for her birthday, and
was talking to the head of the local T'bird club last night. He
mentioned he also had a '57 Golden Hawk, and said it was a real "muscle
car". I brought up this discussion thread, and he said he has a book
called "Muscle Cars" that lists the Golden Hawk. He also brought up the
'59 Olds Rocket 88 as a superlative example of a muscle car. So there
appears to be adequate reasons for confusion....
