What older vehicle that was produced long ago...

[Bucko]

What older vehicle that was produced long ago, (and discontinued) would you like to see brought back today as a retro style and sold with todays engineering, but old style looks?

Since the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger were already done, they don't count.

For me, I'd like to see any of the tri-Five Chevy's, especially a Nomad wagon.

Or a mid 60's Ford galaxy 500. My dad had one. Beautiful car.

A late 60's Dodge Charger that actually looks like the late 60's Dodge Charger. My first car was a 69 Charger. (I fell in love thanks to the Dukes of Hazzard)

Yea, I had a '71 RT version. Longest hood on a car I've ever owned! The new Charger is only a Charger by name.

Tucker Torpedo

Ha! The one they did a movie about? https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tTP1TcwqTDJKzNg9BIvKU3OTi1SSCwtyc_NT8rMSVXIzS_LTAUA1icMhA&q=tucker+automobile+movie&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS1045US1045&oq=tucker+automobile+&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0i512j46i512j0i512l7.13019j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I think Tucker had to make 7 production vehicles to keep from going to jail.... the big three literally forced him out of business, as they threatened the parts manufacturers they would drop their business if they sold to Tucker. He got the monopoly laws changed, but it was too late for him.

Cool car. It was warrantied to 100K miles I think.

1968 Plymouth Road Runner with a 383 4barrel 4 speed, or something close to that like a 392 with a 6 speed manual.

They will have to hurry, if its going to have the hemi, as Dodge plans to drop the Hemi (in cars) after 2023 I heard.

I think they made 50 total if I remember right. All but two or three have survived. Loved them since I was a kid but there's no chance I'll ever afford one. Very innovative car for it's time. Definitely got screwed over.

Bring back the 80's luxury land yachts. I briefly owned a 1985 Buick Park Ave in the 00's and it was an unbelievably comfortable ride.

Edit: here's Hyundai's concept for an 80s-inspired electric car.

Phil_R, I bought a new 1969 Plymouth Road Runner! 383 magnum, 4spd, 391 posi, coyote duster ( functional hood scoops). Bench seat, no air or power steering. Only owned it for a year as I went in the Navy and couldn't afford the payments. It was very fast and I had a lot of fun with it.

+1 on the Galaxy. Love those cars. I'd also like to see a same-era GTO.

 

[magicbus]

Pontiac GTO and Chevelle SS.

De Tomaso Pantera for me. Cheers!

Reo Speedwagon (the original truck, not the band). And I always liked the red and black combo.

I always liked those. Not many are even aware of their existence. The old Diamond T pickups were cool as well.
