What is el camino chevrolet?

The Chevrolet El Camino is a pickup truck which was produced by Chevrolet between 1959 to 1987. The name 'El Camino' was derived from the Spanish term meaning 'The Road'. It was built on the Chevy Impala platform and was marketed as a cross between a pickup truck and a car.

The first generation of El Camino had a similar design to the Chevy Impala with a cargo bed at the rear. The second generation, produced from 1964, had a more angular design with a bigger cargo bed. The third generation, produced from 1968 to 1972, had a more muscular and sporty design with a range of V8 engine options.

In the 1970s, the oil crisis had led to decreased demand for gas-guzzling vehicles, and the fourth generation of the El Camino had smaller engines to meet the needs of the market. Production was stopped in 1987 after a total of over 2 million El Caminos were produced over 28 years.

Today, the Chevrolet El Camino has become a popular collector's item appreciated for its unique design and cultural significance. There have been rumors of Chevrolet bringing back the El Camino, but they have yet to release any official statement on that matter.
