The El Camino made its debut in 1959 as a direct response to the 1957 Ford Ranchero. Featuring sleek 'Jet Age' styling combined with pickup functionality, the El Camino quickly became something of a cult car, finding a strong following among custom-car fans, hot rodders, and drag racers.
Like the Ranchero, the El Camino was a car/truck hybrid. It shared much of its basic architecture with the entry-level Brookwood two-door station wagon. The El Camino also utilized the Brookwood interior trim, but the exterior decor was shared with the midlevel Bel Air. The El Camino utilized the same X -member frame as the standard '59 Chevrolet passenger car.
This El Camino is finished in Crown Sapphire. It features the standard 135-horsepower Hi-Thrift six-cylinder engine and optional two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Factory options include AM radio, heater/defroster, right-hand sun visor, and right-hand armrest. The current owner has had this El Camino for over 40 years. In 2001, a frame-off restoration was undertaken, carefully supervised, and researched by the owner with a strict emphasis on authenticity.
