Long, low and lean, this 1959 Chevrolet El Camino cross-over utility vehicle would have been a big hit Down Under with the Aussies' love of utes. I like that 348 truck engine but the Powerglide transmission, not so much (actually I HATED it!).

The WCPD cars were really nicely done.  Sometimes I think better than some FM & DM Cars.

This is a beauty in this color; another outstanding model by WCPD.
