Well, I saw the Chevy pickup I want. :) I saw it at the boat ramp parking lot for Orchard Point County Park. I love it! What a sleek design. I had no idea what model it was when I saw it, but I knew it wasn't a custom job because I remembered that Chevrolet has produced a custom looking pickup. I don't know the year model of this one but Chevrolet produced them from 2003 to 2006. So there must be a few on the road. This is the only one I remember seeing in real life. I also learned that the top comes off, so it is a convertible pickup!
Here is some information about the SSR http://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/ssr/):
"An anomaly in the automotive world, the Chevrolet SSR (Super Sport Roadster) convertible combined the look of a customized 1950s pickup with the rear-wheel-drive powertrain of a sports car. Based on General Motors' midsize SUV platform, the SSR had a high seating position and a trucklike ride. Yet this muscular Chevy truck was no workhorse. It had just two seats, a narrow pickup bed with a tonneau cover and a meager towing capacity. Other packaging and ergonomic compromises made it less than ideal as primary transportation.
What the Chevrolet SSR did offer was a healthy dose of individuality. It looked like nothing else on the road and was a pure automotive style statement. Between the '40s-style fat fenders, the low hood and its dominant rear proportions (greatly enhanced by the hard bed cover), this Chevy looks as speed-crazed as any muscle car from the '60s or '70s. Its two-piece power-retractable hardtop stowed vertically between the seats and the rear storage bed, thus allowing open-air motoring. For a car enthusiast looking to fill some extra space in his garage with something that combines postwar cruiser image with modern-day hardware and reliability, the SSR could be a fun choice.
However, the SSR was plagued by issues throughout its four-year lifespan, including build quality problems, so-so performance of earlier models due to the smaller V8's struggle with the excessive curb weight, and a breathtaking sticker price. Subsequently, it was discontinued after 2006. Chevy sold only about 25,000 SSRs, which makes used examples a rare find."
Hmm, perhaps I will forego it after all, but I really think it is neat!
