Manufactured from 1978 until 1993, the Brat is a two-door coupe that’s also a four-wheel drive truck. The name — which conjures up images of obnoxious children— is actually an acronym for Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter. The rear features seats that face the rear, open to the elements.

The Brat offers other interesting features, including a spare tire mounted under the hood, a spring-loaded hidden door for a side step into the cargo bed, and a T-top split roof. Manual transmissions came standard on all Brat models.

Australians bought the Brat but there it was called the Brumby, and elsewhere in the United Kingdom it was known as the 284. Notable owners include Ronald Reagan, who used a Brat on his California ranch.
