2001 1959 Chevy El Camino, All-American Truck #7

2001 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament

QX6072

Proudly introduced as the "handsomest thing that ever happened to hauling," the 1959 Chevrolet El Camino combined the dramatic styling of a passenger car with the cargo capacity of a pickup. Long, sweeping lines, accented by the bright chrome strip running from the front fenders to the gullwing fins, gave the "Elky" the appearance of being in motion while it was standing still. Even the name El Camino ("the road") suggested that this Chevrolet Task Force 59 truck was going places. Drag-strip racers favored its powerful engine options, including the 335 HP big block.

Seventh in the All American Trucks Hallmark Keepsake Ornament series.

The front license plate is dated 1959, the back plate on the Hallmark ornament is dated 2001.

The ornament is handcrafted and the wheels turn.
