Spark called this car Impala El Camino. Is it wrong? According to Wikipedia, El Camino is related to Bel Air, Biscayne and Brookwood. Impala is not even mentioned. Should it be just El Camino?

Does not mean it is true but:

"Because it was built on the same platform, the 1959 El Camino was offered with any trim level and options found on Chevy's passenger cars, including the top-of-the-line Impala."
