Whip of the Week: Chevy El Camino

The Chevrolet El Camino, also known as the "Elky," was built between 1959 to 1987. The first generation El Camino was based on the Impala, and was built for only two years – 1959 and 1960. There were three available engines: the 235 cubic inch inline-six, the 283 cubic inch small block V8, and the 348 cubic inch big block V8. Take a look at Rick’s 1959 Elky, with its classic two tone paint job. Many old Caminos were later bagged like Mario’s brilliant 1959. Chuck’s 1959 Camino is super clean. Oliver’s 1960 Camino is still under construction. Must be hard getting parts in France! Sales of the first generation cars were disappointing for Chevy, so the El Camino did not come back in 1961. The second generation car, our subject for tomorrow, made a dramatic return in 1964.
