Chevrolet SSR becomes (earlier) appointment through destiny
Apparently, the economy for retro-minded, $40,000, 400-horsepower flip-top pickups (that will not haul diddly) sucker as feisty as we originally thought. The deeply irrational, yet oddly compelling Chevrolet SSR has a date provided the Great Crusher In The Sky… and such a date is March 17. Or so.
When General Motors announced returning in November the it can shutter the Lansing Craft Centre in Michigan, it forecasted to continue pushing SSRs out the front door until sometime currently summer– but the model’s requirement has ebbed off the (already basically low) table, hastening the plant’s closure.
Michigan’s capitol city has had a hardy go of the Automatic boom the out of few years, costing Oldsmobile’s headquarters when GM deep-sixed the brand, and now it faces the closure of a facility in the wake of heralded as the cradle of the company’s niche-market generation future.
On the bright side, at the very least the 2006-issue SSR had the foresight to dress up in a brown tie for its own funeral. See you at Barrett-Jackson in 2036, boys.
