Sure, the modern Camaro is its own animal, but it does have features that resemble that old-school muscle car, even if faintly. Modern cars evolved from classic kin usually have design cues that resemble the cars of the ’60s and ’70s, much like the Chevy Camaro. At the New York International Auto Show in 2008, Pontiac actually unveiled a utility-like car, but budget cuts made that idea disappear as well. The idea was brought back to life in 1995 with the El Camino possibly sharing the Chevrolet Caprice station wagon platform, but the B-body platform was discontinued in 1996 so that idea was scratched. Back in 1992, an El Camino concept car was unveiled based on the Lumina Z34, but it never made it further than that. The 1987 model year was the last of the El Camino in regards to production, but General Motors has made a few attempts to bring it back. While there hasn’t been any plans to bring back the mullet car, a rendering has surfaced of what it could look like if there was to be a modern El Camino. Today, these vintage utility cars can fetch a pretty penny at auction. With its unique look that was hard to wrap your head around, the interesting vehicle did develop a cult following. The Chevy El Camino was one of those cars that was either hated or loved. This time, the El Camino stuck around until 1987. Chevy’s take on the mash-up was eventually discontinued due to declining sales, but it reappeared again in 1964 built on the Chevelle platform. General Motors debuted the 1959 El Camino car-truck, built on a station wagon platform with an obvious inspiration from the Ford Ranchero.
