12 Classic American Cars That Deserve a Comeback

 

[Budnicks]

No Rancheros or Baby Birds,
the others I'd have no problems with
there was millions already, of the other 2 they had their day already
twice if not more
they tried a new baby bird 'it was a fugly thing',
it failed, weak & slow
unless maybe if the did like the 66-67 Fairlane bodied, retro-ed Ranchero
that would be pretty cool,
no more baby birds please...

I'd like to see the El Camino come back, they had them/Utes in Australia
Pontiac/GM-Holden

Bringing back Olds (esp. the 442) or Plymouth (RRs) would be great,
but a total pipe dream

Mercury (?)
The Cougar could be done, in/on a Mustang platform,
better be an ICE version

the 70-esk Chevelles, to a lesser level
& Trans Ams,
Both are already sort of back being done on what was now
the now defunct Camaro Platform,
some dude in Florida owns the rights
to automotive production of the 'Trans Am' name
pumping out a couple 4-5 a moth specialty cars, & real resto's too
they've been building Trans Ams in all sorts of performance options
on/out of Camaros, LS 7-LS 9 & LSX 454-455 platforms,
special specific designed engines (by Arrington Shophemi.com (?)
IIRC the guy who is famous for Hemis, & was RPM motorsports

Stellantis & the new management,
they should do a 'gen 3-esk' Roadrunner, on the Charger/Challenger platform
426cid Hemi Hellephant 1000+hp powered, 1 year only,
then the next year a Hellcat powered, special edition
then each year after a special model until they run out of ideas
even if they had to call it a Dodge, could have a decent run like 10+ years

the Superbird souldn't be redone IMO, it'd be butchered

opinions may vary vastly & probably will
that's my take

I get vintage car articles recommended in my online feeds daily and I really think the majority of them are AI created. This one isn’t any different.

And the one that stood out to me was the Ranchero, I’d like to see that come back in a smaller package.

Automobile designers today suck. With the exception of the Mustang and Corvette, there is absolutely nothing that the big 3 makes that would get anyone's heart pumping.

"Bringing back any of these nameplates would require more than just slapping vintage badges on current models....."
That all they will or can do. Because government. And also it doesn't fit The Plan of making cars reliably unfixable.

That's not technically a Road Runner pictured, of course. It's got Coronet fenders, if I'm not mistaken.
That's a Banana Boat. Albeit fast one.
Actually, I hope they leave Road Runner alone since all they can do is degrade ACME of all cars for all time.

As far at the Dart Sport, I've got two Al Bundy cars. They are bullet proof daily drivers. So I don't care if they bring them back or not.
But it would be a great idea.
