This Jimmyfication of a Chevy is not as bad as the ’56 we looked at recently, but it sure doesn’t improve on the original.

Maybe I've gone wrong in the head, maybe I've had too much to drink, but that red truck is a beauty. Chunky tires, faded paint and airhorns - it just looks like the business - a real rat truck. I want that parked on my driveway.

That red truck is freakin' awesome. Someone needs to do what they call a sympathetic restoration on it (DON'T TOUCH THAT PATINA!) and cruise around in it. What a hoot that would be. Seriously, SOMEONE needs to let go of that T100 notion and do something about this.

Lorenzo People don't want EVs, they want inexpensive vehicles. EVs are not that. To paraphrase the philosopher Yogi Berra: If people don't wanna buy 'em, how you gonna stop 'em?
Ras815 Ok, you weren't kidding. That rear pillar window trick is freakin' awesome. Even in 2024.
Probert Captions, pleeeeeeze.
ToolGuy Companies that don't have plans in place for significant EV capacity by this timeframe (2028) are going to be left behind.
Tassos Isn't this just a Golf Wagon with better styling and interior?I still cannot get used to the fact how worthless the $ has become compared to even 8 years ago, when I was able to buy far superior and more powerful cars than this little POS for.... 1/3rd less, both from a dealer, as good as new, and with free warranties. Oh, and they were not 15 year olds like this geezer, but 8 and 9 year olds instead.
