Alternate Route

Turn off the nav system, crumple up that MapQuest printout, and let's find out where the next random turn may take us!

Jan 27, 2008 - Everything Old Is New Again

1984 Dodge Rampage and the Dodge Rampage Concept from 2006So there I was, watching a bit of TV before making a road trip to my daughter's basketball game, when an infomercial comes on for an inversion therapy system.

You know the deal. Suspend yourself upside down and fix your back. I recall it being a bit of a fad in the late 70's so I guess it was time for it to come around again.

We hit the road and about an hour into the trip I come up on a Dodge Rampage which I also haven't seen in about as long.

Sort of an El Camino type of vehicle, but without the performance. The Rampage Concept shown at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show carries the name but really doesn't have that El Camino flavor to it if you ask me.

Recycling of ideas seems a popular concept.  Would an El Camino or Dodge Rampage sell now? One thing's for sure. You can bet someone will try to sell you one!

 

If obscure vehicles are your thing, try a couple of the discussions in our Automotive News forum.

I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!

I love the idea of another rampage!!! Look at what Subaru Brat's, VW Trucks etc all sell for on ebay. People love trucks....Now even more concerned with fuel prices, I love the idea.

I'm telling you... Ford WILL try the NEW Edsel at some point!

I 100% agree...it's not just with cars too. Look at what some people are wearing these days.

Top vehicle looks like Subaru Brat, bottom one looks like Chevy HHR. El Caminos and their clones were indispensible for moving mattresses and bed frames!
