The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupe utility vehicle produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1959‱960 model years in response to the success of its rival, Ford Ranchero. Production resumed for the 1964‱977 model years based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978‱987 model years based on the Malibu. Although based on corresponding Chevrolet car lines, the vehicle is classified and titled in North America as a truck. GMCs badge engineered El Camino variant, the Sprint, was introduced for the 1971 model year. Renamed Caballero in 1978, it was also produced through the 1987 model year.


El Camino is Spanish for the road or, alternatively, the path, or quite literally, the walk.
Ford Australia was the first company to produce a coupe utility as a result of a 1932 letter from the wife of a farmer in Victoria, Australia asking for a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs to market on Mondays. Ford designer Lew Bandt developed a suitable solution, and the first coupe utility model was released in 1934. Bandt went on to manage Ford″ Advanced Design Department, being responsible for the body engineering of the XP, XT, XW, and XA series Ford Falcon utilities. General Motors Australian subsidiary Holden also produced a Chevrolet coupe utility in 1935, but the body style did not appear on the American market until the release of the 1957 Ford Ranchero.
Fifth generation 1978‱987The 1978 through 1987 El Caminos were produced in four trim levels: Classic, Black Knight1978-Royal Knight 1979‸3, Conquista and Super Sport, and shared chassis components with the Chevrolet Malibu. Chevrolet 90 degree V6 and Buick V6 engines were used for the first time. The optional 305 cubic-inch small block V8 was rated at 150 or 165 horsepower 123 kw, and from 1982‱984, the Oldsmobile-sourced Diesel engine was also optional.

The 1979 model got minimal changes following its debut as a redesigned new-size model in 1978. Alterations to the 1979 El Camino amounting to little more than a new divided grille. However, a small-block 267-cubic-inch 4.4-liter V8 joined the options list and slotted between the standard 3.3-liter V6 and the optional 5.0-liter four-barrel V8. The 350-cubic-inch 5.7-liter V8, developing 170 horsepower 130 kW was again available. Both three- and four-speed manual transmissions had floor shifters.
