1959 Chevrolet El Camino

West Michigan

The Story

This is a first-year El Camino. It has a 348 with triple deuces and a Saginaw four-speed. I bought the car out of California and performed all of the work on it myself.

One of the things I did was create and make the tonneau cover, which I set up with an electric lift mechanism. I also installed the cufflinks in the taillights, which were originally a promotional piece.
