First car I ever bought back in 81 was a 59 RANCHERO for $500. Still have it. But I’ll admit the El Camino is gorgeous. Just recently found out that the 59 Ford Fairlane was awarded most elegant car design for 1959 by the Italians. But I’m still a bit jealous of the 59 Chevys.

El Camino. The motorized mullet. Favorite GM ride for me. Had a 72' back in the day. Limited passenger room is definitely a plus. No kids, no dogs 👍

I wish they would bring the El Camino back. It was the coolest car sighting in my neighborhood during the 60s and 70s. They're unique and may not be the most practical hauler, but people really liked the style and they were real head turners in my neighborhood.

I had one around 1991, bone stock and very solid, I drove it all over California for a year. At the time it was a cool but not very desirable car - but I liked it. One night I was parked in front of my girlfriend's apt in San Francisco and someone hotwired and stole it. The SFPD found it wrapped around a pole in Hunter's Point a couple days later. I let the city haul it off and never saw it again. Sure wish I had it now.

Bring back the El Camino.

I'd love to own one in either the SS or Royal Knight option.

My friend still has one after many years of sitting in his garage. I remember as a kid that some would put big campers on the back. I thought that it was so cool.

great to see this. I've heard of the commercials before but never have seen it.

'59 was the coolest year. Clark Gable eyebrows to cat eye taillights.

Apparently they’re still picking up bits of the old grandfather clock on hwy 34

Like you, I'm a Ford/Mopar guy and I too appreciate these classic vintage commercials of all makes and models. Amazing it was filmed in color (might have been a Corp thing for the salesmen) since there weren't that many color tv's in 1959.

Nice car/truck and nice wife too...

Sad, America has fallen . We were once great now we are at laughingstock of the world

So did the grandfather clock or the bed get damaged loose in the back like that?

It wasn't the marriage of the Fleetside and station wagon, but a marriage of the discontinued Cameo P/U and the old sedan-converted-to-pickup that was so popular in the southwest

The El Camino and Ranchero! Great automobiles!🤠👍

Made these into the 70's and you could stick a 454 big block in one.

Please bring back the El Camino.

My first car was a beautiful black 1959 El Camino that I bought in the fall of 1964. it looked good, and I loved the design, but it was a mechanical piece of junk which I found out after a month of ownership. It was a car buying mistake that I have not forgotten. I still love that design though. I bought a new 1971 El Camino SS in April of that year and it was a dream to own.

I love them they are very fun to drive

What would have been the reaction and thoughts of the car buying public when they first saw that beautiful el camino in the show rooms!

They had real talent and class back then now they just use each others design and put there badge on it

This year's design was hideous, but later El Caminos were really good looking cars. The car showed here looks like some designer failed origami class.

Loved the Sedan Delivery version of the '59 Chevy lineup as well, but something tells me that a lot of them got wasted in demolition derbies from back in the day...

Clocks in cars back then were a big thing.

The introduction of the El Camino created a temporal rift, the ramifications of which will continue to altar and splice our reality. It is a car, it is a truck. It isn't a car, it isn't a truck. It is the thing that should not be. The only reason our current timeline hasn't completely diverged in twain was the marque's cancellation in 1987. Symptoms of its existence remain of course, the Mandela Effect being chief among those.

Damn nice car

I’m convinced, but my Chevy dealer didn’t have it.😢

Like a Ridgeline, but cool.

I've had a few 64-65 elcamino's. I've always wanted a 59-60 but they didn't sell as well so not as many around to find. I don't actually search for cars every car I've had was found by chance just sitting in somebody's back yard for a fair price or trade those early elki's I've never come across one.

good concept crossover car pickup.

That big clock would be in a thousand pieces by the time it got delivered.

Not knockin the car but the grandfather clock could've been hauled in a wagon. Maybe they should've hauled a washer dryer pair.

Sweet!🍎

I'll take a dozen!

thanks for this, had one of these in the early nineties. Really not fit for any purpose otehr than being a great show of car (cannot take in more than 3 people but a small load space ala toyota 1000 at back). Should never have sold mine, though.

I preferred the look of the Ford Ranchero more.

i'm surprised that it is in color

el camino means the camino

Pontiac made a test one (El Catalino?) built on a '59 chevy wagon chassis in '59 but the Pontiac powers to be nixed the project. Tried again in '68 (El Lemanso?) but again it never got past the pilot car.😀
