Inventory Highlight: 1959 Chevrolet El Camino
2:26

A pickup that plays by no one’s rules.

The 1959 Chevrolet El Camino wasn’t just a utility vehicle, it was a category breaker. Born during an era of tailfins and big-block ambition, the '59 El Camino merged full-size car comfort with light-truck utility in a way that made American gearheads pause. Today, it stands as one of the most recognizable and collectible “car-trucks” ever built.

And we’ve got one of the finest examples around! Fully restored, investment-grade, and ready for its next garage.

The first-gen El Camino was Chevrolet’s answer to the Ford Ranchero, but Chevy didn't just compete—they flexed. Built on the full-size Brookwood wagon chassis, the '59 El Camino delivered striking, sweeping tailfins, a dramatically low stance, and that iconic “cat-eye” rear end that screams late-’50s flair.

Only one model year was produced before a redesign in 1960, making the '59 El Camino a true one-year-only classic, a key reason collectors chase it.

Why This One’s Special

This isn’t just any ’59. It’s been meticulously restored, hand-selected, and thoroughly inspected to meet HotRod Collection’s exacting standards. Key highlights:

  • Show-quality finish in period-correct two-tone

  • Beautifully reupholstered interior with original-style trim

  • Strong V8 under the hood with smooth automatic transmission

  • Chrome in excellent condition

  • Collector-quality top to bottom

Whether you’re into mid-century design, vintage utility vehicles, or you’ve just always had a thing for El Caminos, this one hits the mark.
