3 Nameplates Just BEGGING To Be Brought Back

 Chevrolet Bel Air:

For decades, the Chevrolet Bel Air was an American favorite. Available in coupe, sedan, and convertible form, it was the perfect choice for the average American worker. The model pictured is from 1955, yet still looks gorgeous today. If Chevy could bring it back, perhaps even as an electric, there would surely be customers. To be honest, Detroit doesn't offer a single impressive sedan under 30K. The likes of the Malibu, Cruze, MKZ, and the Continental, not to mention the discontinued Chrysler 300 and 200 cars, are all very aging cars, and simply not on the same level as, say, the Honda Civic and Accord. A new for 2022 Bel Air would be a game-changer for Chevrolet.

Ford Thunderbird:

Resurrecting the Thunderbird would be a very similar situation: Giving the American people back a legendary car, from a company that has not a single competent sedan to offer. You might even argue that the Thunderbird nameplate holds more significance and legacy than the Bel Air. Even better, the Thunderbird took on many forms in its life, making it very easy for Ford to stick the name onto a product. Ford recently reintroduced the iconic Bronco and Lightning names, why not do it with the Thunderbird?

Honda S2000:

Though not as ancient as the American icons previously discussed, the S2000, discontinued in 2009, is a favorite among car enthusiasts. Very similar to the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the Honda packed plenty of fun in a little package. Barring some hot-hatches, Honda doesn't really offer an affordable sports car. Toyota has the 86 and Supra. Mazda, the Miata. Ford and Chevy have the Mustang and Camaro. Nissan will sell you the Z. If Honda brought back the S2000, gave it some of the flair you find in a Civic Type-R, a effortlessly beautiful design like the red model pictured, if would be a absolute home-run.
