Chevrolet El Camino
Chevrolet El Camino when translated from the Spanish came out as “The Road”. The car was a kind of a coupe, light duty utility/muscle car. We saw the first one in 1959 and 1960 and then production continued in 1964 and ran straight through to 1987. The car gets classified as a truck when titled.
Starting in 1978 and running all the way through to 1987 the El Camino was marketed in four different models; The Conquista, El Camino, Royal Knight and the Famous Super Sport. Under GMC the models were GMC Caballero and GMC Sprint. The version marketed in Mexico was sold as the Chevrolet Conquistador.
In 1968 the El Camino got the station wagon and 4-door sedan wheelbase giving us a longer wheelbase for the El Camino. Another fantastic upgrade was the addition of the Super Sport with the SS396 that came out with the Chevelle. The 1970 models SS396 were actually 402 cu in (6.6 L) all the logo emblems all read 396. You could even find a few with Chevrolet’s most powerful option of the time the LS6 454 engine.
El Caminos kind of matched the trim packages that the Chevelle Malibu had same cloth and vinyl of the day. The Strato bucket seats with center console were an option for the El Camino.
A lot of different model manufactures produced all the versions over the years making the El Camino a great collectable model.
