What is El Camino

Although it breaks my mind to think about, I do understand that there are some out there that haven't a clue about what an El Camino is. A vast amount of knowledge goes along with the topic. This small investigation will hopefully bring you from Lame to Ultra.



The word "El Camino" is Spanish for "the road". Makes sense too. The king of the road should bluntly be called "road" just as the Jedi king should be bluntly called Jedi.
The El Camino is a Chevrolet "truck-car" muscle machine.




The Chevrolet El Camino was produced from 1959 to 1987. It was a popular vehicle because it provided the work capabilities of a truck combined with the sporty handling of a car. The El Camino was imitated by other manufacturers with vehicles such as the Ranchero and the Brat. While others tried to copy the El Camino, none reached the popularity and performance. Now the El Camino is a popular car with collectors and Hot Rodders everywhere.
