All-Time Great Cruisers Reimagined

History Repeating Itself

Over the years, certain cars leave an indelible mark on the world, rising above the idea of just being a car and becoming part of our shared cultural language.

Vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler, the Chevy Camaro, or the Ford F-150 have transcended their brands to become brands within themselves.

And when it comes to cruisers, sedans that are built for the drive, that put comfort and vibe above raw and unbridled performance, there are some cars that have stood the test of time beyond all others, and have ushered in a new era of the cruise.

Chevrolet Malibu

The name alone conjures images of the long and storied history of American car making.

Since rolling off the line in 1964, the Malibu has defined the laid-back sensibility of cruising, offering a car that is at once subtle and commanding, a head-turner that you might miss if you’re not looking hard enough. Few other cars ever built possess the quiet cool of the Malibu.

The Chevrolet Malibu was so popular, in fact, that it was brought back into production by popular demand after its early-80s discontinuation.

Much like the Malibu, the Impala has become more than just a car.

Beloved by classic car enthusiasts and modern daily drivers alike, no car better blends style and pure usability than the Chevrolet Impala.

A prestige car at an everyman price, the Impala has always been known as a cruiser that, while economical, offers an urbanity and a flair of luxury that you simply don’t get in other cruisers.

And just like the Malibu, the Impala has been deleted from production over the years, only to return thanks to the clamoring of its devout fanbase.

Chrysler 300

The 300 has lived many lives.

From its earliest iterations as a mid-century landship to its exciting middle ages as a race-inspired sedan to the modern age where it blends luxury with downright performance, the 300 has been one of Chrysler’s most iconic cruisers.

And today’s 300 takes its cues from all of those eras, as it is at once a luxurious cruiser that isn’t afraid to grind out some serious performance, giving you a drive that you’ll never forget.

Dodge Charger

The Charger is a bit of an outlier on this list because, as many may know, it didn’t start out life as a cruiser. Rather, it was (and remains) one of the greatest muscle cars ever built.

But today’s Charger has been reimagined as a four-door family sedan… that also happens to come with optional Hemi power and a potential for up to 700+ factory horsepower.

Is there a cooler ride to roll up to soccer practice in? I think not.
