Four door truck with a short bed. These things were laughed at back in the day as useless. Now this is every truck.

1955!
Citroen Traction Avant. Introduced in 1934, it had:
C4 Corvette. Yeah, haters will hate, but there was nothing else like it.
The Jensen FF. You know how the Audi Quattro was something of a revolution as an awd sports car? This was 14 years earlier. Hell it was the first AWD passenger car. Ever. The kind of thing pretty much everyone offers. If only Jensen would have survived to run Group B...
The Desoto Airflow, built back when aero didn’t matter and things looked like this:
