1959 Chevrolet El Camino

Description

You better love attention if you're going to take home this ride. That's because you're not only looking at a desirable 1959 Chevrolet El Camino, but this classic has been custom built to remind you of its sedan origins. The result is a one-of-a-kind that will have the people at the car show talking long after you take this cool Chevy home.

A first-year El Camino is already a desirable classic. It has the wild look of Chevy's full-sized offering that in '59 had some of the most daring styling ever put to sheetmetal. You'll love going over all the style lines that flow into deep creases as they create standout styling elements like the pontoon fenders and huge tailfins. You can see all this perfectly thanks to the crisp bodywork and the modern Electric Blue Metallic paint that highlights every curve the moment the sunshine hits this classic. You'll love the factory pieces like the bright chrome bumpers/trim and the curved windshield. But as your eyes continue to move down this El Camino, you likely start to notice the custom elements like the grille and large Boss alloy wheels. Then when you get to the rear, you really see how much work went into this build. After all, that's not a bed cover, but instead the trunk of its Impala sibling has been custom adapted to give this pickup the beautiful deep channel V rear deck that is an icon of the era.

Open the door to a fresh black interior. The leather bucket seats, carpeting, dash, door panels, headliner, and so much more have a rich darkness that tells you there was a large investment here recently. This has been set up to be a true driver's car with a Lokar shifter for your right hand, and a custom chrome steering wheel for your left one. The two-spoke design leaves plenty of room to see the original speedometer flanked by classic-style AutoMeter auxiliary gauges. And when the truck bed was been turned into a full trunk, there was room left over for a large storage space behind the seats. And any El Camino owner will tell you, they wish there was just a little more room in the cabin like this one to carry supplies to the car show!

As we mentioned before, this is a custom build for someone who likes to get noticed. And since you'll be showing off, the motor has been upgraded for a proper presentation. Chevrolet's 350 cubic-inch small block V8 looks great with bright components such as the air grabber, valve covers, and master cylinder. And if you look closely at that shine, you'll also see the substance of a Holley four-barrel performance carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum intake, aluminum water pump, and a Champion aluminum radiator. There is a sweet rumble out of the dual exhaust, which is just begging to go out cruising this weekend. And when you do hit the road, the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and power brakes make the trip a breeze.

A first-year El Camino is already a really cool classic, but when you get to keep all of the chrome and add even more style, it creates a custom build that will stay on everyone's minds for a long time to come. So if you want to leave a lasting impression, call today!
