From The Past: January 16, 2007
In my opinion the El Camino is the ugliest car ever made. If you own an El Camino, there’s not much I can say. That is my personal opinion and always has been.
I took the picture below in Eastland Shopping Center. We were leaving Big Lots when I saw this monstrosity:
I wish you could see it better. There are flower stickers stuck all over the body, while bungee straps are holding down a blue tarp. This tarp covers the bed of the El Camino. Yellow tape can be seen across the back window to keep the tarp from flying off. To top it all off, there are small party lights in the shape of the American flag, draped down the rear fender.
Update 2023: I still have the same opinion of the El Camino. It’s an ugly car.
Hi Tami- I’ll agree, they are rather ugly. I kind of like them, but yes they are ugly.
My Dad had one a long time ago. I’ve only heard stories and have seen a picture of it.
It was an El Camino “Super Sport”. It was black and the stripe on the tailgate was olive (I think).
There is a story that supposedly, someone stole the bumper off of it, and my dad went driving around town and found it on someones car. I don’t know what happened after that. Ha.
