January 30, 200620 yr I love that, and I think that would have probably been hotter than the Impala SS off of which that was based. It would have been right there to catch the truck/SUV boom. There's definitely a hole in the automotive landscape that only the El Camino can fill. I've seen El Camino-like conversions based off of 90-94 Luminas and 00-05 Impalas and Montes. They'd be smart to just bring the thing back already. Have it replace the standard cab, 2wd Colorado.
January 30, 200620 yr Author I've always thought,and still do, that it will replace the SSR. :AH-HA_wink:
January 30, 200620 yr Cool, I have not seen those pictures before. What year was this shown as a concept? 1993? There was a Lumina based ElCamino around the same time, also by GM Design. Pictures of that car are even harder to come by.
January 30, 200620 yr Man, those 90s B-Bodies really have a killer attitude in any body style, don't they?
January 30, 200620 yr Author I've seen the Lumina and even a Monte carlo based Camino, but they were aftermarket. This one is a true GM prototype that nearly made production(if the B bodies weren't cancelled it likely would have). They brought this one out for a cruise down Woodward when the production SSR debuted there, the two of them cruised together. The car is a 1994 model and appears to use the bed and rear window from the '78-87 El Camino, just about everything else is production Bbody.
January 30, 200620 yr Well, now... Isn't that interesting. Another prototype to never make production because a vehicle was cancelled. Only GM.
