For Sale: 1978 Chevrolet El Camino in Smithfield, Rhode Island

1978 CHEVROLET EL CAMINO The Chevrolet El Camino was GM's response to the success of the 1957 Ford Ranchero. The idea of a car-based light duty pickup or coupe utility had been played around with prior to World War II but it seemed to have been forgotten until the 1950s when the success of the "gentleman" pickups like the Chevy Cameo indicated that the market was ready for an even more car-like pickup truck. This is no ordinary truck, with its slender doors and thin seat back add to the roomy interior. This tasteful El Camino model comes with a standard split-back bench seat. This year El Camino was redesigned. Its wheelbase was increased from 116 to 117 inches to help provide a smooth, easy ride. It is shorter and slimmer than the model before, making it easier to manage in tight traffic and parking spaces. This car is rust free, silver paint, with a gorgeous red interior with buckets and console, 350 cu in V8, automatic transmission, A/C, power steering power brakes, tilt steering column, tach and gauges. A true classic you do not want to miss out on. Come on down to take it for a test drive today!
