“I’ll wipe the smug looks off the Imperial drivers’ faces when I arrive for the demo derby with this.”
“Run-flat front tires come standard.”
Rick Santorum’s campaign announced the purchase of a new vehicle to use in New Hampshire. They figured he needed the protection.
He bought it from Ron Paul.
This early prototype from Chevrolet shows that the idea of a crossover SUV was still a wide-open concept in 1966.
