Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

In 1971 a friend of mine bought a 71 SS454. In 1988 I got a chance to buy it. Lucky for me, I had just sold some cars and had money burning my pocket. It was no bargain at the time, but has been a good investment. I still have it.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

That's a beautiful car. Close to what I was looking at.

I'm going to go and hit myself in the head with a brick now.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Back in the '70s a guy might have passed on that wanting a red one. In the '80s I saw so many red or black Chevys that had been originally one of the cool era colors people seek now. It used to be a royal pain to change them back. This was back before we were blowing them apart for frame-offs.

BTW, I'm a big fan of that color! But the vinyl top makes it an old lady car :lol:

Yeah, I had decided I didn't like vinyl tops when I was a kid. I guess any woman with a drivers license was an old lady to me. As time went by I realized what a cool addition the vinyl was. You could get the fancy and the performance. Only in America!

Nice legs there Larry.

Where are my sunglasses? :lol:

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

They look fresh plucked, don't they?

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

:lol::lol::lol::lol:


Pardon me sir. But could you please give me directions to the nearest Home Depot.

Merci bon monsieur.

It's a lorry! It has no boot!

That one is made for chauffeurs' personal use. Kinda hard to drive anything else after driving a rolls all day, but the last thing you want is anyone sitting behind you when you aren't getting paid.

I'm serious. I really like this one

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Before I show any more crucks or trars I'd thought of this song for some reason


Anyhow, Junior done put him a set if wheels on his Elky

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

I don't know what's going on there. It does look like Jeep stuff, earlier than the Ranchero. I think it's Australian. It's not the same grille as our Falcons. The black one had a caption that said it was a '72.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Oh would you look at that? A Markanchero Lincoln 4x4 thing.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Good thing they put that 4x4 sticker on the quarter. I never would have guessed

AMC prototype, Jeep Cowboy

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

I had a Gremlin when I was younger. Great little car. I would drive that Gremcamino

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

I think if you took the roof off the back of a Gremlin you'd just have a shorter Gremlin :). I found more AMC stuff

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

I want one!!!

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

These are concept vehicles, so it could have happened.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Now that one is not so bad. Sorta Australian looking. Yeah buddy. Drop a 401 w/4sp in that and have some fun. Not bad. American Motors version of the SS Elcamino.
Haha. Look at that tag.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Nice compact size. Imagine with the 4wd Hornet running gear for another version. would make a neat sporty street pickup, though.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Still not as bad as the 2020 Gladiator :lol:

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Nope. It's not trying to be what it ain't. Just a handy dandy light duty little cargo hauler. Not sure a lot of cowboys would have gone for them, though. It think Chore Boy would suit it. Or how about Go-fer? :lol:

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Why does it say Dodge on the quarter. It looks like Plymouth Fury front end.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

They ran out of Plymouth stickers.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Good point. If it's factory it could be an Australian Ute and maybe over there they are badged Dodge. Huge hunch. I guess there were Chrysler products over there. This is an Australian Chrysler 'Wayfarer"
Attachment 1988401

This one is a Chrysler Valiant Wayfarer. So maybe that Fury is a Chrysler Dodge Wayfarer Fury :lol:

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Hey Other Larry, look at this one

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

^^^ He's not looking.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

When I said not just El Caminos I was thinking of Sedan Deliveries, too.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

ummm……………...

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Ok now they are starting to get strange looking.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Is that last one an El Camino turned into a car, trunk lid and all?

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

No way it's an elkie in it's current state.....

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Is that real? That’s too cool!!

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

He stole this idea

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Whew, Ugliness abounds!

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

:lol: My thought, perzactly!

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

Ok, I'll take this and you get the Voyager mini-van

It's not ugly. You are just used to seeing much much better looking vehicles. It's all in your head :lol:

Not a truck, but a GM experimental. Seems to be a Corvair-based vehicle. So was it an early Corvair concept? If so, they had the full-size '65 Pontiac headlamp assemblies already designed. They named it "Futura" which was in use by Ford, unless this is a pre-60 concept

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

I photoshopped a normal burb in to this abnormal one lol.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

This one is real (I think)

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

If real, I would be proud to cruise that all day long. That's one cool looking Olds!

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
 

I was wondering if they didn't put the transaxle in the rear. That way this configuration could be possible. Looks like a seam for the tail end to open up. Might just be the body lines. Seating would be cramped to the center
