Neko Case's Top Five Favorite Muscle Cars

5. ’66 Rambler Classic 660

When you need a car to be your best friend, this is it. You can make the seats into a bed and the air-pressure-powered wipers

never

work (that was a terrible idea!). You can spend the rest of your life wondering what the "Weather Eye" is, but the damn thing will start

every

time. Now that's love.



4. ’64 Falcon Ranchero

Blocky, functional and

awesome

! I have always preferred the later, less-rounded Falcons.

3. ’64 Chevy Apache

I have

always

wanted one of these! It may be the sexiest vehicle ever, besides the Cougar, of course!

2. ’67 Dodge Polara

A bigger hotrod, not very common. I had a friend that had a chocolate metal flake brown one with a creamy white interior. It made me hungry! Fast as BALLS!

1. ’67 Mercury Cougar

What can I say? I love a small sedan! This is the car I picture Angie Dickinson driving in

Police Woman

. I don't think she did, but....
