  • The 1980s supercar explosion sends performers like the Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 959 and Lotus Esprit Turbo peeling out of Europe; Detroit designer Jerry Wiegert enters America into the race with his jet fighter on wheels, the Vector W8.

  • While the DeLorean is best known as the time machine from "Back to the Future," the true story behind the DMC-12 has more plot twists than any Hollywood movie; telling the tale of its inventor, John DeLorean, and his quest to create a new U.S. car company.

  • The Pontiac Trans Am isn't just part of the muscle car movement, it's a statement and a complete package on the track or on the streets; a star of "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Knight Rider," the Trans Am pushes muscle cars to the limit.

  • Before becoming America's Sports Car, the Chevrolet Corvette was the bane of General Motors' existence; when the automaker attempted to discontinue the line in 1983, a small team of self-funded true believers went rogue, sparking a civil war within GM.

  • Hollywood gives audiences plenty of hero cars they can drive home, Knight Rider, the DeLorean, even Herbie, but the Batmobile is always out of reach; of all its incarnations, no other machine redefined the movie car more than the 1989 Batmobile.

  • As the American military outgrows the Jeep, it needs something strong, tough, more versatile, and the Humvee is the answer; from Desert Storm to Rodeo Drive, it became America's vehicle of choice, courtesy of its big fan, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

  • A garage-built experiment turns a cultural icon, the Meyers Manx dune buggy, which makes car building accessible to the masses; its success unleashes a flood of copycats that nearly wiped out the very garage that started it all.

  • As people spend more time in cars, drivers crave the comforts of home; factory options like glove-box cocktail bars promise just that, though not all are created equal; join Jeff Dunham for a ride through the wacky world of factory options!
