Jakarta, IO – “Chevrolet”.
“Ford”.
“Dodge”.
These are some brands of the big, macho, “muscle” cars from good old US of A. When you think of “American cars”, it’s quite likely that muscle cars come first into your mind: two-door vehicles whose strong performance is powered by huge V8 engines. They are a huge part of American pop culture thanks to Hollywood movies, and literally have cults of its lovers across the country – and across the world.
They are quite rare, because American muscle car owners usually prefer to keep their prized cars in their collections, or bequeath it to their sons or museums for others to enjoy. Originally cheap in the land of cowboys, naturally they become expensive when exported – especially to a developing country like Indonesia. Naturally, this only adds to the fuel of fans’ passionate fire!
