Not what you would call a "muscle" car, but my dad bought (new) a 1963 Pontiac Catalina Station Wagon. I think it had a 425 engine. The camper was a 1963 Phoenix. Mom and Dad had that camper for about 18 years, but the car was traded for a utility van somewhere around 1970. Dad towed that trailer with all sorts of family sedan cars after that.
I wish I had more photos of this. I was 8 years old when Mom and Dad got the car and trailer. I remember trips to Michigan, Florida, Texas, and Philadelphia (from Central Indiana).
So yea, those older cars were already "muscle" before "muscle" became a fad!
