The shocks were continued over all generations, the frames only thru 1967. El Caminos also featured Air shocks in the rear, as well as fully boxed frames. Added to the El Camino's option list during the course of the 1964 model year were two versions of the 327 cubic-inch small block V8 rated at 250 and 300 HP-the latter featuring a higher compression ratio of 10.5:1, larger four-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. The standard V8 was a 283 cubic-inch Chevrolet small block with two-barrel carburetor and 195 HP with optional engines including a 220 HP 283 with four-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. Initial engine offerings included six-cylinder engines of 194 and 230 cubic inches with horsepower ratings of 120 and 155 HP respectively. The 1964 model was similar to the Chevelle two-door wagon forward of the B-pillars and carried both "Chevelle" and "El Camino" badges, but Chevrolet marketed the vehicle as a utility model and Chevelle's most powerful engines were not available. The original El Camino and Ranchero would compete directly only in the 1959 model year.Ĭhevrolet reintroduced an all new, mid-size El Camino four years later based on the Chevrolet Chevelle. In 1959, Chevrolet responded with the El Camino to compete with Ford's full-sized Ranchero. market of an automobile platform based coupé utility. As always, there was a GMC version offered during the same time, called the GMC Suburban Carrier with the same features offered on the Chevrolet.įord introduced the 1957 Ranchero, and established a new market segment in the U.S. Although it was a model variant of Chevrolet's Task Force light-duty pickup, the Cameo offered an array of car-like features that included passenger-car styling, fiberglass rear fenders, two-tone paint, a relatively luxurious interior, as well as an optional V8 engine, automatic transmission, and power assists. The mid-1955 introduction of Chevrolet's Cameo Carrier pickup truck helped pave the way for the El Camino. Ford designer Lew Bandt developed a suitable solution, and the first coupé utility model was released in 1934.
