In May, Hagerty surveyed 2000 American adults about their automotive preferences, their driving habits, and their feelings about car culture in general. The survey is full of both insights and surprises. As it turns out Americans, are a car-loving people Respondents were asked what kind of vehicle they’re most interested in, picking up to three categories out of 11 choices, or “none.” American muscle cars were far and away the most popular category, with over twice as many respondents as the second-place choice, sports cars. to three choices. Of the survey, McKeel Hagerty, Chairman and CEO of Hagerty, shared this: “From day one, cars have always been more than transportation, so we expected Americans to tell us that the car is culturally important. But we didn’t expect more people to rate the road trip and muscle cars as iconically American than baseball, apple pie and rock ‘n’ roll. The automobile isn’t just a part of America’s story. For millions of Americans, it is the story. A story of freedom, of exploration and the possibilities of the open road.” Survey Says: Muscle Cars Are More American Than Apple Pie - Hagerty Media
