The Chevrolet Cheyenne concept pickup was created in 2003.
It is powered by a 500-horsepower 6.0-liter V8 and includes unique features that have yet to be used in a production pickup, such as side access doors to the bed located right behind the cab.
It was displayed at the 2007 Portland International Auto Show at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon.
Nick Fluge's 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has a top speed of 198 miles per hour and can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds.

John Zupan's Porsche 914/6 is a six cylinder version of Porsche's normally 4-cylinder-powered 914 that was built between 1969 and 1972.
Monte Shelton's 1986 Porsche 962 LeMans Longtail was a Le Mans and International racing car. It is powered by a 650-horsepower 3.2-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine and has a top speed of 226 miles per hour.
A new feature of the 2007 Portland International Auto Show was a gallery of classic cars from the 1930s to the 1950s. These cars were displayed by the Road Angels Hot Rod Club of Portland.
For 2006, Chevrolet expanded the Cobalt's line with the naturally-aspirated Cobalt SS. All Cobalts were powered by double overhead cam inline 4-cylinder engines, but the SS sedan (shown) and coupe were powered by a 171-horsepower 2.4-liter, an upgrade over the standard 140-horsepower 2.2-liter. The SS coupe was also available with a supercharged 205-horsepower 2.0-liter.
These assorted vehicles were displayed in the lobby of the Oregon Convention Center during the 2006 Portland International Auto Show in Portland, Oregon.
This pair of Chevrolet Camaros were representing the Portland Police Bureau. The unmarked one in the background even had standard-issue Oregon license plates for extra stealth.
Here is a customized version of Chrysler's Hemi-powered, rear-wheel drive sedan, the 300, made to resemble a Bentley. It was even placed with the Bentleys out in the lobby. Pretty convincing.
Here is another customized Daimler-Chrysler product from the lobby, a Dodge Magnum.
This Lotus Elise was representing Dream Cars Northwest, Inc., a Portland company that rents luxury and exotic cars.
This customized Willys Jeep was in the lobby and may have been the oldest vehicle in the show. Its exact year is hard to determine, both due to the customizing and the fact that Jeeps do not change much from year to year, but it appears to be a CJ-3B.
This model of Jeep was introduced in 1953 and was built into the late 1960s.
Also on display in the lobby was this preview of NASCAR driver Dale Jarrett's next #88 car: a Ford Fusion, replacing the Taurus.
Looks can be deceiving. Although it appears stock from the outside, this 1957 Chevrolet drag car owned by Pete Hodges is powered by a 540 cubic inch Merlin engine, coupled to a high-performance transmission and a Ford rear end. It is a combination show-and-go car. It took first place at the 2005 Portland Roadster Show, but also covers the quarter mile in 11.10 seconds.
The fastest and most powerful production vehicle ever produced by General Motors at the time, the new Corvette Z06 challenged the exotic sports cars of the world with the 505-horsepower LS7 7.0 liter V8, a 0-60 time of less than 4 seconds and a top speed of nearly 200 miles per hour, all at a bargain price: starting at $65,000.
For those on a tighter budget, the standard Corvette, with only a 400 horsepower 6.0 liter V8, started at about $20,000 less.
Apparently Chevrolet couldn't let Chrysler's PT Cruiser go unchallenged forever. Enter the Heritage High Roof, or HHR. The HHR's styling is based on a 1940's Chevrolet Suburban crossed with the limited production SSR, though it is actually based on the Cobalt, available with the same 2.2-Liter & 2.4-Liter double overhead cam inline 4-cylinder engines as the Cobalt sedan with slight boosts in horsepower.
Chevrolet revised their large sedan this year, and added the performance version, the Impala SS. The SS is powered by a 303-horsepower 5.3 liter aluminum V8 with displacement-on-demand, instead of the 2 more conventional V6s available in the lower models.
While Ford and Plymouth had all-new cars for 1957, the now-iconic 1957 Chevrolet was simply a substantial facelift, the last year of what is now known as the “Tri-Five” models introduced in 1955. The 1957 Chevrolet added two more engine options not available in 1956, for a total of seven, including five versions of the Chevrolet 283-cubic-inch V8 ranging from 185 to 283 horsepower, the most powerful featuring Ramjet mechanical fuel injection. Chevrolet offered a variety of station wagons for 1957, but the Bel Air line had only the exclusive 2-door hardtop Nomad and the 4-door 6-passenger Townsman shown here at the 2004 Clatskanie Heritage Days Car Show.
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Chevrolet used a different model name for each year; the 1932 Chevrolet Series BA Confederate replaced the 1931 Chevrolet Series AE Independence. For 1932, the 194-cubic-inch “Stovebolt” six-cylinder inline engine featured a new downdraft carburetor and higher compression to produce 60 horsepower, up from 50 the previous year, and was now mated to a 3-speed Synchro-Mesh transmission with a Simplified Free Wheeling feature that allowed the car to coast while not pressing the accelerator. The 1932 bodies by Fisher featured a sloped non-glare windshield with no external visor above, and the hood louvers were replaced by opening vents. In 1932, the Confederate line featured two trim levels, Standard and DeLuxe. DeLuxe models are distinguished by chrome hood vents, chrome cowl lamps, and two spare wire wheels mounted on the running boards. This highly customized example at the 2004 Clatskanie Heritage Days Car Show features the cowl lamps of a DeLuxe model despite its painted vents and no spare wheels on the running boards. The 1932 Chevrolet still featured a great diesel of wood framing; many of these cars had all the wood replaced with steel framing when rebuilt as “hot rods” like this one.
