Cars became more affordable after World War II, so more people could purchase the vehicles people now call vintage. One of the most popular models in this decade was the Aston Martin DB5. You may know DBs from the James Bond film series \u2014 the DB5 first appeared in the movie \u201cGoldfinger\u201d in 1964.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DB5 is a beautiful car from a British manufacturer and is ideal for touring the country, so plenty of people will be looking your way. The DB5 has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatespecs.com\/car-specs\/Aston-Martin\/17722\/Aston-Martin-DB5-.html\">maximum horsepower of 282<\/a> and a top speed of 142 mph.

Ford introduced the pony car in 1964 and it\u2019s been a staple for vintage vehicle enthusiasts and collectors ever since. The Mustang has been in production for nearly 60 years and has no plans of stopping. There are a few solid options to choose from for <a href=\"https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/best-road-trip-songs-to-add-to-your-playlist\/\">road trips<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular Mustangs is the 1966 Fastback. Car enthusiasts enjoy this model because of its aesthetics. Besides the original one in 1964, this model is among the most recognizable because of its shape. You\u2019ll turn heads when driving one of these vintage vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Chevrolet_Corvette\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>3.&nbsp; <\/strong><strong>Chevrolet Corvette<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chevrolet-Corvette_11zon-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Chevrolet Corvette\" class=\"wp-image-2318\" width=\"671\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chevrolet-Corvette_11zon-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chevrolet-Corvette_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chevrolet-Corvette_11zon-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chevrolet-Corvette_11zon-750x501.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chevrolet-Corvette_11zon-1140x761.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chevrolet-Corvette_11zon.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Chevrolet Corvette<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Another American classic that\u2019s great for a road trip is the Chevrolet Corvette. The Corvette is the only American sports car currently in production that only seats two people, so it\u2019s ideal for a romantic getaway. Imagine driving a Corvette <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topflightautomotive.com\/blog\/best-places-in-us-to-drive-your-corvette\/\">down the Pacific Coast Highway<\/a> in the summer. The open roads with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean are made for these vintage cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a Corvette, there\u2019s nothing wrong with the classics. The 1963 model is one of the most popular because it\u2019s the one that started the car\u2019s second generation. Chevrolet unveiled the Sting Ray edition of the Corvette, which was smaller than its predecessors. The 1963 Corvette <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/reviews\/a15145912\/1963-chevrolet-corvette-sting-ray-road-test\/\">Sting Ray has 300 horsepower<\/a>, a V-8 engine, and 360 pounds of torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ford_Country_Squire\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>4.&nbsp; <\/strong><strong>Ford Country Squire<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ford-Country-Squire_11zon_11zon-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Ford Country Squire\" class=\"wp-image-2317\" width=\"672\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ford-Country-Squire_11zon_11zon-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ford-Country-Squire_11zon_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ford-Country-Squire_11zon_11zon-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ford-Country-Squire_11zon_11zon-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ford-Country-Squire_11zon_11zon-750x499.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ford-Country-Squire_11zon_11zon-1140x758.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ford-Country-Squire_11zon_11zon.jpg 1945w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Ford Country Squire<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Your grandparents would recognize a Ford Country Squire because these cars were a staple in the United States for the better of four decades. Station wagons were a vehicle of choice for Americans going on road trips. The Griswold family used a 1983 Ford Country Squire in \u201cNational Lampoon\u2019s Vacation\u201d to poke fun at the popularity of station wagons in the 1960s and 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specs for the Ford Country Squire will depend on the generation you drive. Look for an eighth generation if you want to mimic the Griswold family for your road trip. These cars carry over the V-8 engines from previous generations. The eighth generation is almost a foot shorter and 1,000 pounds lighter than its predecessors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Dodge_Charger\"><\/span><strong>5.\u00a0 Dodge Charger<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dodge-Charger_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Dodge Charger\" class=\"wp-image-2316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dodge-Charger_11zon.jpg 612w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dodge-Charger_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Dodge Charger<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you think of Dodge, you probably imagine the Charger and the Challenger as their two flagship vehicles. Dodge introduced the Challenger in 1966 as an affluent and larger pony car, another name for a compact convertible with a sporty look. The manufacturer crafted the Charger to compete with Ford\u2019s Thunderbird and Oldsmobile\u2019s Toronado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In American media, the Dodge Charger is one of the most recognizable vehicles in film and television. The second generation of Chargers from 1968 to 1970 are among the most popular because you can see them in \u201cThe Dukes of Hazzard\u201d as the General Lee car. Fans can also see it in \u201cThe Fast and the Furious\u201d movies as the notorious black Charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dodge also made the Hemi Charger 500 in 1969. The rise of NASCAR inspired Chrysler to enter the fold of motorsports. In competition, Dodge created the Hemi Charger with speed in mind by making major aerodynamic adjustments. Most of these cars <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotcars.com\/1969-dodge-charger-500-profile-of-a-muscle-car\/\">have a 440-magnum V-8 engine<\/a>, which would be perfect for a road trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Volkswagen_Type_2\"><\/span><strong>6.\u00a0 Volkswagen Type 2<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Volkswagen-Type-2_11zon_11zon-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Volkswagen Type 2\" class=\"wp-image-2315\" width=\"649\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Volkswagen-Type-2_11zon_11zon-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Volkswagen-Type-2_11zon_11zon-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Volkswagen-Type-2_11zon_11zon-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Volkswagen-Type-2_11zon_11zon-750x562.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Volkswagen-Type-2_11zon_11zon-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/thetravelfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Volkswagen-Type-2_11zon_11zon.jpg 1346w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Volkswagen Type 2<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><br>This list would be remiss if it didn\u2019t mention the Volkswagen Type 2. You may know this vehicle as Volkswagen\u2019s microbus. The German automaker introduced it in 1950 following the success of Type 1, the famous Beetle. This bus was a symbol of the 1960s and the counterculture movement. In the \u201cCars\u201d film series, Fillmore represents this era with his floral design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the vintage car feel, find a model from the first generation, spanning 1950 to 1967. These microbuses are ideal vehicles for road trips because they\u2019re spacious and have a nostalgic presence.

It got its name from GM\u2019s prototype cars that it made for auto shows in the 1950s. The Firebird has a Coke bottle design, similar to its GM counterpart, the Chevrolet Camaro. It\u2019s a stylish vintage car that\u2019s excellent for the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to beat the first generation. The first three years of the Firebird are among the most memorable for this car. The 1967 Firebird had up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hemmings.com\/stories\/article\/1967-68-pontiac-firebird-400-2\">325 horsepower at 4,800 revolutions per minute (RPM)<\/a> in the GTO edition.
