The Chevy SSR was a crazy retro-convertible pickup truck. The Chevrolet SSR never made any sense, and today I’m reviewing this purple SSR to show you why the Chevy SSR is one of the strangest vehicles in years.

You can't fool me, that's a Hot Wheels car.
Ok
Say sike right now. Hot wheels cars are based off of real cars😢
@@aidancessna1548 I can't tell if you're joking or not
Why do people say that some cars look like hotwheels when hotwheels has nothing that looks like it. I only know 2 toy car companies that make ssr scale models and that is maisto and matchbox
@@aidancessna1548 not all of them

Haha i get the joke 😂👍🏼
It’s a hot wheels omg
StrongRuler hell yhea 😆

Fun fact： Matchbox actually did made a Chevy SSR. Google it and you won‘t be disappointed.
Since Doug doesn't know how the SSR came about, I'll fill people in (I worked at the company that designed the car as a software engineer at the time). The SSR wasn't designed by GM, it was designed by American Specialty Cars (AKA American Sunroof Corporation). ASC had invented the moon-roof and the one button convertible, both of which debuted on the Saab 900 in the early 1980's, and eventually became ubiquitous. They changed the name after agreeing to build the BMW Z4 and BMW balking at the company building the Z4 being called American Sunroof Corporation.
In any event, the concept of the SSR was to build a car that would look like the roadsters of the 1930's that had been built by younger drivers on cheaply available 1920's pickups, many of which were Chevys. ASC built the complete prototype using a GMC Envoy platform with a Corvette powertrain, and the car featured a one touch retractable hardtop that disappears into the front of the pickup bed. They sold the concept to GM by parking the prototype in the CEO's driveway, leaving the keys in it. Needless to say he bought the concept.
ASC came out with another prototype, this time for Ford, and it was a 4 seater reworking of the Model A roadster. Every external mechanical part (and the engine flaps on the side of the hood could be opened, making the engine an external part) was chromed, and the car (in Henry's tradition) was black. After trying to market the car to Ford and Ford opting to build the (failed) reworking of the Thunderbird instead, ASC went back to building convertibles for other companies (such as the Toyota Solara convertible) and moon-roofs.
Thanks for the information that’s really cool
Nice post. Would like to see more likes in it.
Thats awesome I didn't know any of this
You would think that he would do some research and homework when reviewing these cars, especially these less common and "quirky" ones...
Thanks for sharing this!
How it came to exist: two engineers collided in the hallway and their papers got mixed up. No one noticed until it was too late.
He said that this is weird... But can he looks at himself near all engineers and creators of that project?
😂
You got peanut butter on my chocolate...!
Doug is the type of guy to buy water in the store and set it free in the ocean.

He is showing you how it is done and not how to do it. People that own this truck will already know how to do it. This is *not* a tutorial dude. Sorry i was such a party pooper
This is the love child of an El Camino and a PT Cruiser!

Lol I was thinking the love child of an El camino and Plymouth Prowler 🤣😂
But it looks a lot better than the PT cruiser
Lol 😆 love the comments. But my husband is in love with it. It's so difficult and unique. Pretty tight.
"What good is a truck bed with a cover?"
You've obviously never went shopping in the rain in a truck.
Im just now getting this guy recommended to me and the more I see the more it is clear he knows nothing about cars.
@@andrewdriver3318 more so just out of touch with massive market segments
@@PhantomPhaze maybe, but I’ve seen him get bewildered by basic car things. Like a floor mounted high beam switch, which was standard on just about every car till about the mid to late 90s. He also doesn’t really talk about them the way a car guy would. He talks the way a non car person shops for a car, it is all styling and features. He doesn’t mention anything about the drivetrain or performance. He spent a few minutes on the cup holder but only mentioned this came with an LS2 V8 in one passing offhand comment.
Trucks are no longer used as trucks. That's for sure...
@@jpoppinga8417....because they come with bed covers?
That 14mpg number plate though

21 mpg on the highway
So a solid 18.2 average . Thats the same as my fx35 lmao
More interested than the battery
Does it do anything good
The ssr is an el camino that got a bit carried away with drugs
It's easy to see where it all started. El Camino is just an Impala that got carried away with booze and hooked up with it's sister.
No it’s an el Camino after it quit drugs and it’s like... hey what happened to me? And the Holden Ute is an el Camino that never took drugs and properly aged.
More like an El Camino that made too many laps around the buffet.

Theory one. The owner of GM just found out he had a long lost half-brother, invited them and their family up to visit and then let the half-brother work with the design team on their next car.
Simpson's reference. Wowww. Love it haha
@@shawnyt6368 thank you. Glad someone finally got it!
Chevy Homer anyone?
D'oh!
Then, the owner of gm didn’t see the car until the launch, and was shocked when it cost 55000$ dollars, then GM went bankrupt.
Every car we had when I was growing up had the trunk release in the glove box, yet Doug is always amazed by it.
He's often amazed by the type of standard pickup door handles that were on every truck for decades.
Remember filling up your gas tank behind the license plate
My parents old 1994 Chrysler concorde had that
Here's to feeling good...all the time
This is why I love watching him, he's always amazed by every little detail and mechanism, he's not a boring person
16:10 I'm sitting here hanging out watching Dougie get his quirk on and all of a sudden I realize he's driving in my neighborhood and this is literally my neighbors car
Leo Chase
That's awesome, my neighbor has a yellow one
A is your opinion and B could be true. You idiots seem to forget that 1.1 million people are subscribed to Doug, it isn't that unlikely that he filmed near him.
Cool!
what city is this?, so much trees and plants!! awesome!!
Alfons 3000 looks like any Midwestern city....
unique car built at the wrong time.... a GM habit
The avantime deserved better
I think this one was going to go bottom up no matter when it was released.
Well, GM doesnt exactly know how to build AT ALL let alone at the right time...
@@LilXezon_1121 oh I agree, cars are shut, sadly the camaro is too. (Quality wise) my friends dad just got a 2021 camaro rs hard top. Apparently the roof was leaking. FUCKING LEAKING chevys been making cars for over 100 years and can't even seal a goddam roof. And it happened 3 times
The wrong time? You're telling me you'd buy this now or at a different time?

Pick one.
What about this piece of shit looks like a "engineers" car?
It looks like a design by committee but that committee who were blowing as much cash as coke.
I'd buy it just because I think it's funny
Strangely these have held their value relatively well, I'm assuming because of the low production numbers and LS drivetrain.
The only reason it should keep value is for the engine at all
They are weird enough that the people who do want them, really want them.
There is one near me I think for around $20,000-$25,000. NO THANKS.
WatchJRGo The primary value of a vehicle equipped with any variant of LS, lies in the LS. ( the circularity of this comment is by design) With no apologies to Mr
DeCadinet.
Nope, has a 5300 Vortec for '03 and '04 but '05 and '06 are the LS2, only ones on Autotrader I remember are the earlier years, and the reason their value holds so well is because they have INSANELY low mileage usually, lowest was 7K miles at 25K asking price which is pretty much a steal for a reliable convertible car with some decent pickup practicality
I’ve never wanted to own a car so much in my life, I swear to god.
Really a throwback to the early age of vehicles. Must respect to the designer for pulling this one off with no hitches at all. Great job guys.
First time I see a license plate beeing honest.
I remember in a mustang magazine there was an early 90s GT (140hp) and the plate said "4shoNOgo"

Somebody should turn one of these into a gasser. I can't for the life of me understand why nobody has done this yet. It's the perfect retro vehicle for it.
12:14 that head is actually a very common screwdriver head called “ the star bit” head
No. No it's not. See the round protrusion in the middle of the head? And the teeth of the gear like head are hemispherical. And "star bit" is Torx bit to me but that is semantics.
"Keep Clicking.... Keep clicking and I'll come in there and give you something to click about"
-Doug DeMuro, 2017
I hear that crap in almost every old Chevy I ride in. What the hell is it?
Auto Technica mmhh
Auto Technica when did he say that?
Air door actuators. Whenever the ac/heat, temperature and blend door are adjusted they’ll click because their made of cheap plastics, and will result in failure. I Need to buy three for a 2012 impala. I live in Arizona so the summers are a must for ac, and ones failed so heat doesn’t work on the passenger side for the winter. Fml

Y is everyone always doing Doug is the type of guy comments.. real question I missed y this has been happening so much
I personally hate the thought of driving a truck. But this is one I would love to have. Every time I see one in person, which 9 times out of 10 is at work, I always want to ask to test drive it. I love the look of this vehicle. And would definitely include in a car collection if I ever had the money to start one
I drove one of those today (the one with 400hp) and its actually a really fun car to drive. Its a weird design without a doubt but its cool and only a few hundred were ever made which is insane.
Doug the type of guy to ask Forza developers to add turn signals in Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon

Honestly I kinda like using turn signals too lol

I like how Doug never says bad things about the cars he reviews. He usually replaces “idiotic” with “interesting” or another back handed complement word
I know, right, like if you lend him your why bother being butthurt about criticism? It's Doug, let him do his job!
Evan Crouch
Why crap on a car that's discontinued?
It takes effort to build anything, he does point out the flaws, but also if something that has been designed with thought in mind
using the word 'idiotic' would be unprofessional and immature. i could defnitley see why he wouldnt say idiotic. just imagine him saying a feature on is 'idiotic' on the vehicles he reviews
He actually roasted the fuck out of Maserati Ghibli. Probably his most negative review
Look at his Hummer and G wagon reviews
One of my favorite Chevy vehicles of all time. I love odd and quirky vehicles and this is definitely at the top of the list.

Just left a funeral where one of these was proudly displayed on the wrecker the guy owned. Had to come home and look it up. It was the only one I had ever seen on the road. Beautiful bright yellow and looking like new on 2021!
LOL I remember having a Hot Wheels model of this as a kid and thinking it was only a concept, until I saw one in real life! And come on I think it deserves at least a 7 in cool factor, like I almost never see these.
SuperSaiyan3985 were there Hot Wheels models of this car???
I had a poster of this thing and also thought it was a concept
I had one also though it could have been not technically this car? Truck?
There are a bunch of these here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. I never really saw one before I moved here and I pretty much see one every day here. This is a big hot rod place and I can see the same people that love hot rods would love these. Plus it's sunny here pretty much every day so anything convertible works here. Polaris razors are a normal car here.
I see these all the time.
I think GM imagined that this is the car a contractor would use to drive to your house to give an estimate for your new kitchen.
haha
Lol my boss has the HHR for that reason
Yeah lol. This car also was originally a concept and Chevy desperately wanted to see these in dealer showrooms.
@@PlumberWRX Ayyyyye my old boss used HHRs as his service cars. He daily drove an SS, which was low-key cool.
That is what my 04 SSR was used by a Contractor who drove around the east coast building buildings.
One of my favorite styled vehicles ever.
To say this thing has style is generous
Haha u weird arnt ya!
People think this is ugly how
The radio station I used to work at bought one of these contraptions to use for remote commercial events and county fair remote broadcasts. It was mainly a vanity toy for the boss. I drove it several times and it was a fun experience but impractical to use in winter--especially because the boss hated for it to get dirty. When we had serious remote broadcasts to do, we used the station's Chrysler minivan to haul stuff.

I own one and have to say it is the most polite convertible I have ever ridden in. You can have a conversation at 60+ mph with a great ride. Easy/exit and very comfortable interior. Loads of storage in the box area. Nice ride height on crappy roads. Great build quality. So for those people tired of having to crawl into your sports car and tired of looking at the undersides of every vehicle on the road this is the vehicle for you. Loads of power and very unique attention getter that is going up in value! Grab one before they get too old . I positively love mine!! You haters will never know. Have fun.

It was Chevrolet's 50th anniversary to the pickup Chevrolet in1947 they went out and did a survey to the general public and ask them what they would change in1953 they came out with a pickup that was changed styled and more appealing to the public. If you look up the 1953 pick up you'll find out that everything is pretty much the same except for the front split window . One the most noticeable features is the front grill and the truck in 1953 obviously did not have a convertible top and tunnel cover. At that time most trucks were not accepted at people's home they were considered an eyesore, yes I'm sure some of you were thinking the same thing about this one but it's a love-hate relationship with this truck.
This truck was a very fun truck to own and drive it a had pretty much all steel body. It handled 145 miles an hour amazingly. The weight distribution on this truck was great as well, this truck does not seem to have the bed hop like most trucks would.

With "minimum" mods those vehicle can be an extreme hotrod. Find a moderately worn one (6 speed) and add a crate motor of choice.Level lowered suspension with "staggered" wheel fitments (22 &26) and you have a great start.
There was / is a specialty car and truck conversion company in St. Louis named Classic Car Studio, and they had a weekly show on the Motor Trend cable TV channel, which the show was called, "Speed Is the New Black." They had a customer bring one of these trucks in for some custom body, interior and engine work and it turned out tremendous. If you get a chance to browse the Motor Trend Channel's catalog of shows, check this out. Two main features: they put in a GM crate engine that had way over 400 hp, and put in a restomod GMC half-ton truck front grille from the 1950s.

80s until recently were a sad time for Chevy. With the penny pinchers who ironically bankrupted GM it's honestly surprising this thing made it as far as it did.

What really pisses me off about people hating on the SSR's looks is that the concept car for it looked almost identical and people loved it. When the production model came out, all of a sudden the same people who liked the concept car hated the looks of the production car.
The whole 'up and down convertible top' thing just launched Doug into the super geeksphere!!

I show the engine in every one of my videos.

Pretty sure the lead designer of the PT cruiser also had a hand in this lol.
Say what you want but I gotta agree with Doug, I want one with the LS2 and the manual.
I remember seeing this truck when it was debuted at the NYC Auto Show sometime around 1998-2000 and saying to myself "Well it's cool looking, but why would someone buy this?". Was never really fond of the SSR until it came with a manual trans, then I was mildly interested in it. Eh.. Great video Doug!
