1960 Chevrolet El Camino
VIN# 01280L105141
The 1960 Chevrolet El Camino was the last year of production based on the full sized Bel Air/Impala line. At first glance, the exterior once again had a Bel Air look, with that series bright-metal jet appliqu and narrow trailing molding used to accent the rear quarters. Inside, Biscayne/Brookwood appointments also persisted. The seat was now covered in striped-pattern cloth with vinyl facings. Available interior trim shades were once again gray, blue, and green. Floor coverings were in medium-tone vinyl. Mid-1959 powertrain availability was carried over with minimal changes for 1960: The base 283-cid V8 was detuned a bit for fuel economy and was now rated at 170 bhp, and the fuel-injected engines were officially gone.
Production was limited to just 14,163, at which point Chevrolet discontinued the model. The pioneering American sedan pickups just did not connect with enough car-buying Americans. Perhaps these early crossovers didnt carry enough passengers; in a time when baby-boomer families dominated the market.
