1959 Chevrolet El Camino[/b]

The original El Camino introduced for 1959 combined the dramatically finned styling of that period?s Chevrolet cars with half-ton pickup utility. But the excitement was short-lived. After 1960, the El Camino went on a three-year hiatus. Chevrolet revived the El Camino ?personal pickup? concept for 1964, with a new version based on that year?s new mid-size Chevrolet Chevelle. During the ?muscle car? era that followed, El Camino buyers could order their truck with a Chevrolet high-performance big-block V-8 powertrain, creating a sport pickup that could ?haul? in more ways than one. By 1968, a complete Super Sport package was available.
