The El Camino was introduced for the 1959 model year two years after the Ford Ranchero. According to Chevrolet stylist Chuck Jordan, GM Harley Earl had suggested a coupé pickup in 1952. Like the Ranchero, it was based on an existing and modified platform, the new-for-1959 Brookwood two-door station wagon, itself based on the redesigned full-sized Chevrolet of that year.

I still want an El Camino. Not the raygun one but the later 70s models. I'd love to convert it to electric and put a hot tub in the back

Saw some guy fly by me in a lifted el Camino the other day. A cool project car to use for lots of stuff

Always fast, never slow El Camino!

we need to go back to design like this, and normalize driving at 10km/h

Cars used to be art on wheels.
