Chevrolet Elcamino specs: 1959
The ‘batman’ Chevy Elcamino was a brand new idea for 1959, at least for Chevrolet Motor Division. Based on the Biscayne/Impala B-body architecture, technically it’s a fullsizer, but we’ll cover it for the heritage of the name. To screw with your head a little more, keep in mind they’re actually shorter than the colonnade Elky.
