1957 Chevrolet El Morocco Two-Door Sedan

While the iconic 1957 Chevrolet is certainly among the most recognized American automobiles ever built, there was someone who took them to another level. Reuben Allender, a Detroit area war surplus dealer and long-time Cadillac owner, wanted something more. He then set forth to build a smaller and more affordable version of the Cadillac, creating the El Morocco.

Combining the best features of the Bel Air and the Eldorado Biarritz, he devised a plan to build an 'everyday' customized Chevy that is often said to look like a millionaires Cadillac. With the help of a local tool and die maker and a fabricator who worked with fiberglass, he turned his war surplus warehouse into a makeshift auto plant. He would build 16 El Morocco's in 1956 and 18 in 1957.

This example is a fully documented El Morocco and one of the very few in existence.
