Named in Spanish for 'The Path', Chevrolet El Camino is a coupe utility/pickup vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet between 1959--60 and 1964-87. Introduced in the 1959--1960 model years in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero pickup, its first run 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. Chevrolet reintroduced an all new, mid-size El Camino in '64 based on the Chevrolet Chevelle. Chevrolet marketed the vehicle as a utility model and Chevelle's most powerful engines were not available. Chevy introduced a longer El Camino in 1968, based on the Chevelle station wagon/four-door sedan wheelbase, it also shared Chevelle Malibu exterior and interior trims. The El Camino was so closely related to the Chevelle that everything from the windshield forward was largely interchangeable throughout both cars' generations, and engines were shared. But perhaps the best-known El Camino model was the legendary SS, a $444 upgrade in 1968, the only year it was its own stand-alone model.
