Which also influenced the design of the new Chevrolet HHR. Which should do better than the SSR in sales. Two engines a 2.2-litre, 140 horsepower 4-cyclinder and a 2.4-litre, 170 horsepower 4-cyclinder.

ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 03-19-2005 12:12 PM MD - quote from Ron's link: "Chevrolet has traveled back again to 1953 for inspiration and produced the stunning Super Sport Roadster concept truck that debuted earlier this year at the North American International Auto Show."
MDProwler Prowler Junkie Posts: 5250 From: Fallston,MD USA Registered: JUL 2003	posted 03-19-2005 12:20 PM 1953 is too recent
ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 03-19-2005 12:26 PM MD - did you read Ron's link? That was a QUOTE

Marty Usher Prowler Junkie Posts: 13833 From: San Antonio, Texas Registered: JUN 2001	posted 03-19-2005 01:39 PM That 1953 pick up looks a lot better than my ex wife born the same year! (Of course, the '53 truck could have been made in 1952 I guess)
MDProwler Prowler Junkie Posts: 5250 From: Fallston,MD USA Registered: JUL 2003	posted 03-19-2005 03:56 PM AC, I did read that but I don't think it's entirely correct. The truck pictured IS a Chevrolet but it was never produced or sold in the US. Note the 'El Camino' type body. Not a true pick-up. I saw this last month in a muscle car showroom/museum in Tampa, FL. How about one more picture before revealing the answer? This message has been edited by MDProwler on 03-19-2005 at 04:00 PM

CJ Prowler Junkie Posts: 18860 From: Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 03-19-2005 08:13 PM Bob says he thinks it is the Austrialian...Holden Ute? It appears to be a right-hand drive vehicle.
MDProwler Prowler Junkie Posts: 5250 From: Fallston,MD USA Registered: JUL 2003	posted 03-19-2005 10:19 PM And the winner is Bob! It is a 1948 Holden-Chevrolet "UTE". The right hand drive was the hint. Good job Bob! NOTE: It was also underpowered This message has been edited by MDProwler on 03-19-2005 at 10:22 PM
MDProwler Prowler Junkie Posts: 5250 From: Fallston,MD USA Registered: JUL 2003	posted 03-19-2005 10:25 PM I just noticed it says it was produced from 1934-1938 but it is a 1948? I didn't pick that up before
