Chevrolet SSR

The Chevrolet SSR is a retractable-hardtop pickup made by Chevrolet in the United States from 2003 to 2006. Its weirdest quirk: It's a pickup truck with a folding metal convertible roof.

A 1940s-inspired pickup with a retractable steel hardtop and a V8. SSR stands for Super Sport Roadster, which tells you how much truck work it was meant to do.
