Inspired by the sports car craze, Detroit automakers created a new breed of small, racy, relatively inexpensive "sports compact" cars for young and old alike. The first of the new group, the Ford Mustang, made a fast breakaway in 1964. It was rapidly followed by competing cars whose names evoked feelings of adventure and even danger: Plymouth's Barracuda, Chevrolet's Camaro...
