There's something wonderfully refreshing about a custom classic truck that doesn't spend its life hiding beneath a car cover. You know the kind. A pickup that looks right at home at a Saturday morning cars-and-coffee gathering but is just as comfortable tackling the Monday morning commute. One with enough personality to turn heads, enough horsepower to keep its driver smiling, and enough road miles to prove it isn't merely garage jewelry.

Some muscle cars make a statement before their engines ever fire. Others let their horsepower do the talking. Eric Domanic's green 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS manages to do a bunch of both.

At first glance, the 1968 Chevelle SS represents everything enthusiasts love about Chevrolet's golden age of American muscle. Its muscular body lines, long hood, and purposeful styling helped establish the second-generation Chevelle as one of the most recognizable performance cars of the late 1960s.

What if a children's book about one of America's most celebrated automotive engineers could inspire the next generation of car designers, builders, inventors, and dreamers?

That's precisely the question that came to mind while reading What If? Inspired by Zora Arkus-Duntov and the Mid-Engine Corvette, a delightful, illustrated children's book by lifelong Corvette enthusiast Eric Jacky.

Every year at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, automotive brands and builders collaborate to show off their latest projects, ranging from classic hot rods to modern exotics. At the 2026 SEMA Show this week, Meguiar's unveiled this 1956 Ford F-100 in its main booth. It's known as the Fat Fender Garage GT/FX and it's said to be the byproduct of 15,000 hours of labor over the course of five years. It features a high-performance coilover chassis, 800-horsepower supercharged Coyote V8, heavily-modified all-steel body, and an impressive custom interior.

Carmine Carbonaro of Staten Island, New York, was not shy about sending Classic Industries some photos of his superb Dark Blue Metallic 1987 Limited Turbo Buick Regal with blue velour interior. As awesome as this sweet American boulevard cruising top shelf muscle car looks, we're ever so happy to share these photos with CI's customers around the globe.

Restoring a first-generation Ford Mustang is one of the most rewarding projects a classic car enthusiast can undertake. But what happens when an otherwise decent Mustang has a nasty patch of rust behind the rear wheel opening? Do you need to replace the entire quarter panel? Not necessarily!

Some classic cars are purchased, restored, enjoyed, and eventually sold to make room for the next project. Others become part of the family, accumulating memories and sentimental value that can't be measured in dollars and cents. For Eddie and Rebecca Solis of Chino Hills, California, their beautiful Cobalt Blue 1971 Chevrolet El Camino falls squarely into the latter category.

Back in the early 1960s, pickup trucks were utilitarian vehicles. Maybe you were a farmer picking up livestock feed, a gardener transporting mulch, or a tradesman bringing heavy materials to a job site — the humble pickup truck got it done. Fast forward to today and you'll see a variety of high-end, luxurious trucks with power and acceleration that rivals that of sports cars. So, how did we get here? The Dodge D100 and its High Performance Package option paved the way to modern muscle trucks like the Ram TRX, but its high cost and limited production made the D100 HPP extremely rare.
