This very attractive color combination was the only one available on the first year Cameo. The Cameo was a ground breaker in the sense that it brought passenger car luxury to the truck market.

Yes, the Cameo was the start to the luxury class of trucks.

LOL, I always thought a "luxury truck" was an oxymoron.  When I was growing up, trucks were never considered anything more than a means of hauling everything that needed hauling.  They were always dirty, banged up and dented.  Maybe some rust too.  Then in the last couple decades, trucks took on a new image.  For many they replaced cars and really weren't bought for their hauling or work expectancy.  Now they cost as much or more than most cars.  Different times for sure.
