What is car 1972?

In 1972, many American muscle cars were reaching their peak power outputs before stricter emissions and fuel economy regulations took hold. Some popular cars of the year included the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac GTO, and Dodge Charger. Gasoline prices were rising quickly, prompting some automakers to experiment with smaller, more fuel-efficient engines. However, large V8s continued to be popular among enthusiasts. The average new car cost around $4,000. Safety was becoming a greater concern with features such as seat belts, padded dashes, and collapsible steering columns becoming more common. The iconic "muscle car era" was beginning to wind down, but many classic models from this time are still highly sought after by collectors today.
