Leif in Calif Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I wish it were a more subdued color, but it's pretty neat anyway!

Jim Skelly Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I'd like to have it. It's the first year of the model and hasn't been hot rodded! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Nice example of a rare item. The red is “eye catching”. You can argue if that’s good or bad. Personally a dark blue would be my choice of color. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wells Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I can't see what the advantage of buying a coupe-pickup was when, for the same or less money you could have a real pickup with a bigger load capacity. Some people say the coupe-pickup had a back seat which improved passenger capacity, but I can find no documentation to support that. Maybe an owner can verify. From the appearance of the subject car and the one in the factory brochure, it looks like there's very little, if any, space in the cabin for back seat passengers, even a child. especially as the bed was a full five feet long and extended into the body. Today, it's an unusual body style but not particularly attractive, IMO.

wayne sheldon Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 9 hours ago, JFranklin said: Early ElCamino. That really is the best comparison. Regular pickups had cheaper interiors with uncomfortable seats. Even the El Camino was more a car than a pickup. They couldn't handle as much weight or bulk as a regular pickup of their time. After my grandfather retired in 1964, he sold the old GMC half ton and bought a new El Camino. It was great for the lighter work he did in retirement. I would love to have one, by any of the makers.

kingrudy Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Interesting and certainly does add to the utility of the vehicle, but I would rather have a normal coupe. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
