Re: Spotted
The only time I saw an SSR was back when I was in high school, but then again the guy who owned it also owned the city's Chevy dealership!

Re: Spotted
I saw a purple Lotus Elise at the baseball game the other day and a red SSR at a local restaurant a few hours later (IDK how to tell if it had the LS2).
Other than that, my town is a hotbed for Jeep Grand Cherokees, Ford F150s, Priuses, and late Acura products.

 Undeniable resemblance imo, moreso than to SSR's attributed inspiration, the 'Advanced Design' Chevrolet pickup.  I think both above and below vehicles date from approx 1953?  |

Re: Spotted
Spotted - Vauxhall Vagabond convertible at Homebush NSW.
It was being driven, so i didn't get a good look - just enough to ID it. Ozzie only contraption built by Holden on the chassis on the Ute. My Dad had one, a good while before me though, so this is the first one I've seen "in the flesh."

Re: Spotted
^ true.
I wasn't aware of that level of accuracy on these terms. Tourer/Convertible/DropHead/Cabriolet not sure on the strict markers of difference. Interesing Topic though, I'd say most of the old Coachbuilding terms have been barstardised by the marketers by now.
