Its distinctive retro styling was inspired by Chevrolet's Advance Design pickup trucks of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Following the reaction to the concept, Chevrolet took the unusual decision to put it into production. The SSR arrived for the 2003 model year and was manufactured at GM's specialist Lansing Craft Centre in Michigan until production ended in 2006. In total, only around 24, 000 SSRs were produced, making it a relatively rare vehicle and a particularly unusual sight in the UK. The One to OwnThe later 6L V8 models are the SSRs to own. They offered substantially improved performance compared with the earlier cars and are generally the versions most sought after by enthusiasts and collectors. Only around 9, 000 of these later V8 versions were produced, making them considerably rarer than the earlier SSRs. What Makes the SSR Unique:The SSR combines several completely different types of vehicle in one. It has the styling of a classic American hot rod, the rear load area of a pickup, the performance and soundtrack of a large-capacity V8, and a power-operated retractable hardtop that transforms it from a closed coupé into an open-top roadster at the touch of a button. There really isn't another production vehicle quite like it. Interior & Comfort:Despite its retro hot-rod appearance, the SSR offers a comfortable and well-equipped interior, including:• Spacious two-seat cabin• Heated leather seats• Power-adjustable seats• Driver's seat memory• Air conditioning• Cruise control• Power windows and door locks• Power-operated retractable hardtop• Leather-wrapped steering wheel• Premium Bose audio system• Auto-dimming rear-view mirror• Remote keyless entry• Driver information centre• Electrically adjustable exterior mirrors• Lockable covered rear load areaThe Chevrolet SSR is a genuinely unusual piece of American automotive history: rare, powerful, instantly recognisable and unlike almost anything else on the road.
