Default Re: Crazy, like Lillard...

I'm not sure if everybody is aware of how special a truck Steve's SSR really is. First, there was not a truck full of
purple SSR's anywhere. The paint was limited to just the first twenty five Signature Series vehicles. This paint is
a special paint that was shot by hand not robot. All of the 25 special Signature Series trucks were hand built. The sheet metal on these trucks was actually not the same as the production trucks. In essence the first twenty five SSR'S are like prototypes. Each will carry it's own unique heritage that was fully documented by GM. As far as a dealer
not getting ant interest in the SSR's thats hard for me to understand. We've had our first two years worth of these SSR's sold out for over 5 months. Many dealers didn't even know about the Signature Series because we couldn't sell them. All of them were only offered through auction.Without a doubt the SSR is not the answer to the lightning or the hemi dodge. IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN EXCITING HALO VEHICLE MEANT FOR CHEVROLET TO GET PEOPLE INTO ITS SHOWROOMS. Its fun to drive neat to look at and is certainly a traffic stopper everywhere. I think chevy did a great job with it. Just my passionate 2 cents worth.
