The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupé utility vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet between 1959–1960 and 1964–1987.
Unlike a standard pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from the
standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and integrated the
cab and cargo bed into the body.
Introduced in the 1959 model
year in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero coupé utility, its
first run, based on the Biscayne's B-body, lasted only two years.
Production resumed for the 1964–1977 model years based on the Chevelle
platform, and continued for the 1978–1987 model years based on the GM
G-body platform.
Although based on corresponding General Motors
car lines, the vehicle is classified in the United States as a
pickup.[1] GMC's badge engineered El Camino variant, the Sprint, was
introduced for the 1971 model year. Renamed Caballero in 1978, it was
also produced through the 1987 model year.
