I call bullsh!t on their opinions. My El Camino was the most enjoyable vehicle I ever owned in my lifetime so far. Wish they still made them.

I had a 69 El Camino. Best looking one ever built IMHO.

It was a Chevelle that could haul my Yamaha dirt bike out to the desert.

Best of both worlds...

yeah, they seem to have criticized every unusual design whatsoever as ugly. I’m sure they think the Toyota Corolla parked in their driveway is some masterpiece of design. A very weak article.

I agree 100%. The El Camino is not agly car. I loved my ‘65. It was was metallic maroon and beautiful. When I finally put it up for sale I had buyers fighting over it.

I'm with you. The El Camino is cool, as is the SSR. The Avalanche is not bad, and the DeLorean was a beautiful car. Some of the Euro cars were ugly, but stuff like the new Beetle and the Volkswagen Thing were both popular and pretty reliable.

The Pacer and Gremlin were way ahead for their time. You could get a Pacer Wagon with a V8. Ran like a BOOH. That was your fancy ‘cross over’ front, one wheel drive vehicle.

Your every day utilitarian, rubber floored, rear drive, straight 6, 3 speed manual, mini crossover was the basic Gremlin.

Everything worked out fine, was cheap, and got better mileage than the Techno-Heaps we have now, Thank You Enviro Nutjobs !.
