The Chevrolet Cavalier was launched in 1988 as Chevrolet's compact economy car, following in the footsteps of the Monza, Nova, Corvair, etc. It is telling that Chevrolet has renamed its compact car twice since the Cavalier bowed out of the market in 2005 (first Cobalt and then Cruze) as opposed to a company like Honda that continues to proudly produce Civics for decades. Chevrolet management seems to want to sweet the performance/reliability/public-perception of their previous generation compact under the rug like it has a bad case of scabies and introduce an
all new model that won't have the same perception of being a total pile of crap. It is somewhat a rigged game as years of bad product released during the 70s/80s (when the Japanese were putting out cars that did last 300k miles) have given a bad stigma to GM's recent compacts which aren't that bad compared to their competition. Meandering tangent aside, it was thought that the strangest Cavalier custom was the

Back before the rise of video games, young male gearheads spent many hours building plastic models of cars. Monogram had a popular series of hot rod customs by famed designer Tom Daniel. I spent many hours myself building his creations like The Red Baron, Paddy Wagon and Bad Medicine. In a fit of nostalgia a while back, I bought a copy of Bad Medicine off eBay and built it. For this guy a 1/24 scale custom based on a C Cab wasn't enough. Find this 1975 Custom C Cab Three Wheeler for sale in Buckley, WA for $9,500 via craigslist.
