…the front is where you drive, the back is where you………………!
As much as I profess my affection for my little red Suzuki Swift, my dream car is a 1959 Chevy El Camino. I recently located one for sale down in West Chester, PA for something like $50 grand. I’d have to win the lottery to be able to afford something like this, and then I’d have to find a place to garage it because no way would I park it on my street (especially not after what happened to me a couple of weeks ago.)
The 1959 was the first model year for the El Camino, and the ’59 was a lot different from the goofy-looking things from the ’70s and ’80s that we think of when we think of El Caminos. I think it’s really sharp… it’s got a great big couch for a front seat and a huge steering wheel, and it looks as good going as it does coming. I once started writing a story about a woman driving north along the Mississippi river in an El Camino… I never finished it, but maybe I will one day.
Crazy. I just happened upon your blog because I couldn’t remember the name of the El Camino and google brought me here! My name is Jean (pronounced like yours), I have a red Chevy Aveo (maybe you don’t still have your swift…) and I also love El Caminos (it’s kind of been an in-the-closet admiration but I think I might just come out with it now). Just had to comment on the coincidences! Anyhow, good luck to you-I saw your latest post about retiring this blog!
