1959 CHEVROLET EL CAMINO-THE TRUCK THAT MIGHT BE A CAR TOO

The 1959 Chevrolet El Camino was the GM response to the Ford Ranchero-both were considered a gentlemen’s truck so you rarely saw these vehicles taking a giant hog to market in the late 50s.

 The 59 Chevy was a unique looking vehicle on its own so turning it into a part time truck took the El Camino up a big notch in the “we sure noticed what you’re driving” wars back in 1959.

 Al has always been a huge fan of these iconic Chevy car-trucks so when he had the opportunity to own one-he jumped at the chance.

A 57 CHEVY EL CAMINO:THE TRUCK THAT NEVER WAS-WE HAVE IT!

Ben Maerz is a legend in his neck of the woods. He takes a concept that could have been made, but never hit the dealerships. High on his list of the improbable is his 1957 Chevrolet El Camino.

Ben made his own version of an El Camino that could have been built two years before the General actually put one on Chevy car lots. And his El Camino looks like it came out of a factory.

Ben started with a Chevy station wagon and then started to cut away the roof of the wagon. Six years later, he had a truck instead of a kid-hauler from the 50s. Six years was plenty of time for Ben to develop a game plan.

The truck has sloped door posts and no vent windows to give a sense of flow to the new look.

Mission accomplished in this department.

THE KENWORTH THAT THINKS IT'S A 1991 CHEVROLET DUALLY ONE TON TRUCK

Dan is a professional truck driver so he feels pretty natural behind the wheel of a big rig. Maybe that explains why he drives a smaller version of a big rig with a Kenworth themed truck based on a one-ton truck chassis.

This truck is a scene stealer every time he takes it to a show. In fact Dan could almost rope it off and charge admission to see it up close.

Like most owners at a show Dan patiently answers the same questions over and over and over about his unique ride.

The story begins with an old Kenworth cab and a fair amount of vision for the project because Dan is definitely one of those “what if?” guys.

1966 CHEVY EL CAMINO:THE JOURNEY FROM MILD TO WILD

Morley Birmingham’s 1966 El Camino started life as a mild-mannered 6 cylinder automatic. Nothing too crazy-just a life as a functional but odd combination of car and truck that was fashionable in the Ford and Chevy camps of the 60s, 70s, and early 80s.

But this El Camino was definitely headed for a higher calling when it got a mildly muscled-up 350 with a 4 speed manual tranny to play with the newly found extra torque.

The driving force behind Morley’s decision to own the El Camino was actually quite simple- He wanted something a little different and these car/truck hybrids are actually a lot different in the collector car world.

That is an understatement because they will draw a crowd at any car show, and Morley’s El Camino is no exception.
