1970 Chevelle

1970 Nova

1965 Impala SS

1957 Chevy panel delivery

1968 El Camino

Or another Chevy

Chevy? I dunno. A Chevelle I guess.

I'd really like to see a Buick Grand National again, even if it isn't retro.

panel truck has kinda been done (HHR). Chevelle would be nice but would compete with the Camaro so don't see that happening. El Camino would be nice but wasn't the SSR similar to one?

The HHR is due for a restyle, I think a 55 -57 restyle would be a good update. The Chevelle would not compete with the Camaro, it didn't before why should it now? The SSR was nothing like an El Camino. It was styled after the late 40's early 50's pickup and was way overpriced. If they came out with a retro Chevelle they should bring out an El Camino based off of that body.

IIRC, the HHR is being discontinued.
How about this retro design based on a Nomad?

Why would they discontinue something that is one of their best sellers? Many businesses use them around here. Don't make much sense to me. I love our HHR. They had a nomad concept a few years back based on the Kappa platform, it looked slot like the corvette based one back in the early 50's and they had a BelAir concept that took it's styling from the 55 Chevy.

Well I just read that production of the HHR is ending in December. Guess it's time to trade mine in on a new one before it's gone :(

I had a 1976 Chevy El Camino. Loved it!! Something like this:

So I guess the El Camino... but I think I saw a concept of a new Chevy Nomad?
Here it is:

Kind of a 1st gen Corvette front end.
Over all too rounded IMO.

1970 chevelle with a 454 would be nice

Silverlsinva · 08-05-2011, 03:57 PM

Ultimately, the HHR was just a Cobalt with a different body. With the Cobalt gone, the HHR is following.

1970 Chevelle.

Well evidently they are already gone, The dealer in town has none and the next town over only has one left. looks like I will just keep mine till the wheels fall off...Chevy still shows them on the website with a $3500 rebate. man those HHR panel trucks were really popular with small businesses around here. i hate to see them go. I knew they were built off the cobalt, and was hoping they would come up with a new version based off the Cruze.

I just checked another dealership in the area, they don't have any HHRs either...I may just find a used one and put it up till mine dies.
