My friend told me they make a big Escalade and a small Escalade.
If so, I think this is the small one.
Yep, based on the Tahoe and Suburban, respectively. In that generation, the "Suburban" was called the Escalade ESV. This, as you noted, is the regular Escalade.
I knew the car name, but looked up the exact year.
i'd have been impressed if anyone even got zender
this was only ever a concept car too, but if anyone beat the original midnight club street racing game they'd recognize it as the last car to unlock haha
Simple; Volkswagen Type 4 (411/412), the last evolution step of aircooled VWs ( besides the 911...), replaced quickly by the K70 ( Originally a NSU) and the VW Passat/Golf/Scirocco in early 70s
Correct, BigSwede.....and welcome to CL as a new poster.
the early 2000s had a lot of great trends but impractical luxury pickups weren't one of them lol... now it's just funny to look back and see what deemed a good idea by marketing directors
I did not own or test-drive one, but did see and examine one at the D.C. Auto Show, and one or two of them in my area in local parking lots. As I understand it, it was so much of a sales flop that only 1000 or so of them were ever built (although Wikipedia lists 3383).
And I can understand why it did not sell...who would buy a work truck with rare expensive wood around the bed? Doesn't make sense.
Our wedding limo was an Escalade EXT in that color, just stretched probably 16'.
16' extra stretch gives more room to party! Lol

Yeah me too, prices were probably high for a pickup back then in those dollars.
But a luxury pickup, now tour talking!
Bring the leather and fancy trim, I like that stuff. Lol
Oh sweet, a late 50s Volvo Duette. Haven’t seen one in ages.
The Volvo 210 aka Duett was in production 1953-1969, a much loved "Handymans ride" as well as in offical use (Post, Telephone, Police, Power, railroads, armed forces).
Sadly many was cut up into "EPA-tractors" in Sweden in 70s/80s...
To fill the void Volvo came up with the 145 Express for a few years but it all ended with the 140/160 series 1975.

Doesn't make sense.
