Ranchero Alternative: 1959 Chevrolet El Camino

The 1959 Chevy El Camino was a wagon-based pickup. This rusty example needs a lot of cosmetc work, but it said to be a decent runner..

In 1959, Chevrolet introduced the El Camino, a coupe utility vehicle aimed at rivaling the Ford Ranchero. This unique vehicle, much like the Ford counterpart, was based on a 2-door station wagon platform. As a full-size offering, it graced the automotive scene for a mere two years before disappearing, only to stage a triumphant return from 1964 to 1987, this time as an intermediate model with the same configuration.

Presenting itself as a running vehicle, this ’59 El Camino does face challenges when it comes to braking and bears various cosmetic issues. Currently residing in Eden, Utah, this vintage Chevy is up for auction on eBay. The latest bid stands at $2,025, with the reserve yet to be met. Nevertheless, there is an option for potential buyers to acquire it instantly with a Buy It Now price of $4,500.
