I've been away for a while. The retail world this time of year is hectic, even more so when staff is very limited. But enough of that...

I hope everyone has survived and is safe from the extreme weather that has plagued many parts of the country. I can't believe the level of the winds we have been getting.

 

Here's a very nicely done model from WCPD

1959 Chevrolet El Camino Sport Pickup

1959 Chevrolet El Camino 01
1959 Chevrolet El Camino 02
1959 Chevrolet El Camino 11
1959 Chevrolet El Camino 12
1959 Chevrolet El Camino 17
1959 Chevrolet El Camino 20

This is my favorite '59 Chevy color combo, including the pale blue in place of white.

Wish I had purchased more of the WCPD cars.  They look really nice and detailed.

Great photos John, and glad to see you are surviving the retail season and all the rest of the hoopla and drama we all need to contend with.  Since I'm not a model Pick-Up fan, I just couldn't pull the plug on this El Camino.  It bothered me when they were new, as they looked cars that were chopped and made in to trucks.  It was a concept that I just couldn't grasp.

West Coast did a super job on this one.  I have this color and also the one in Crown Saphire.  I sure wish Brian was able to produce the '59 station wagons.  This was the family wagon from 1959 to 1969, only ours was a Parkwood (6 passenger), not a Kingswood (9 passenger) like the one pictured:

1959 Kingswood
