QUOTE: Larry Miller, with possibly the best suggestion ever:

"That's what started me thinking about my favorite Chevy, the glorious '57. I've never had one, but always wanted one. Doesn't everyone love those? When one goes by, don't you all say, "Hey, look, a '57 Chevy!" No one's ever going to say, "Hey, look, a '93 Buick!"

And that's when I got the idea. Why don't we build them again? Seriously. They've got to have the plans sitting on a shelf somewhere, right? Then why not? I know the engines and safety of cars has gotten a lot better over the years, so why doesn't General Motors just start building 21st century cars inside and '57 Chevys outside?

Okay, maybe it sounds stupid. On the other hand, think about it: Have many of you out there would jump at the chance to buy a brand new '57 Chevy? I would. Wouldn't we all? Wouldn't everyone in the world? I mean, there wouldn't be one unemployed American, there'd be endless rows of factories dotted all over the country, Michael Moore would be dancing with George Will, because we'd all be building and buying '57 Chevys. There'd probably be a big drop in the murder rate, too, because we'd all be too busy cruising around in our cool '57 Chevys. Can you imagine what every town and city would be like on a Saturday night? Hell, the whole country would look like "Happy Days." "
