El camino

The Chevy El camino is a cool car, its not a muscle car and not real fast but if you tweak the engine and stuff then it is. They are a combination of a car and a pickup because they have a bed and are lower to the ground, and the cabin of a car. Chevy made an SS El camino, that was the faster one that people drove around for fun, they started making them in 1959 and ended in 1987. Chevy made them because people wanted a car with the load space of a truck and the comforts of a car. They were cheap, with no luxury or options, no power steering or brakes. Back in those days they weren't cool like they are today. In 1964 they made them with a v-6 194cid with 120hp or 230cid with 155hp, and the v-8 283cid with 195 or 220hp. In 1966 they started making them with the v-8 396cid engine with 325hp. My favorite years were from 1965 to 1987, because their body style was better and had more power. Before the El camino ford built the ford Ranchero in 1957 which was like the El camino. They stopped making El caminos and switched to light trucks that had more power and abilities. They are on my list of many favorite cars.
