The Chevrolet El Camino, the company's answer to Ford's Ranchero series, was introduced in 1959 and promoted by Chevy as its first pickup built with a steel bed floor instead of wood. This particular example wears a restoration that was finished in a combination of two-tone Classic Cream over Highland Green. There are Classic Cream painted steel wheels with polished full-wheel covers and wide whitewall tires. The interior is done in Chevrolet's 'tri-tone' green upholstery with a cream and green steering wheel. The two-tone steering wheel frames a Space-Age dash in Highland Green. There is a 120-mph speedometer along with four other concave gauges. Above the factory-correct air-conditioning system is a pushbutton radio residing in the padded dash. Beneath the bonnet is a 348 cubic-inch 'Turbo Thrust' V-8 engine fed by a Carter four-barrel carburetor.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2022
