Chevrolet SSR open house
Shamelessly retro in its design that drew heavily on the company’s cultish early 1950s pickup trucks, the Chevrolet SSR was a curious confection - a kind of a truck, and with its retractable top, a kind of convertible. GM thought this concept might appeal to the cool, surfing crowd, but sales proved well below target, with just 24,150 SSRs being produced between 2003 and 2006. Although motoring writers were unenthused, the SSR had its devotees, and this pristine example shows off some of the car’s special features.
