There’s not a lot to be critical of here, with it all presenting so nicely. Someone has been more than happy to spend a penny or two on the El Camino because the interior is all new. What he does say is that all of the glass is new, and from our own observations, all of the trim and chrome appears to be present and in good condition. He also says that the floors have received some patches, but doesn’t indicate what sort of quality these patches are, or whether there are any further rust problems. It has received at least a partial repaint at some point because the owner acknowledges the fact that both lower rear quarter panels have been replaced to address some rust problems. The panels look nice and straight, with no signs of any dings or dents. Lighter colors tend to allow you to see the curves more easily, but having said all of that, there is very little to be critical of with this one. It tends to disguise the sculptured appearance of the car, which to me, is one of its truly great strengths. While I generally am quite partial to Tuxedo Black as a color, I don’t think that it is a shade that does the styling of the El Camino any real favors. Speaking of personal preference, I’m going to go out on a limb here. Bidding has reached $13,433 at the time of writing, but the reserve hasn’t been met. The Chevy is located in Cleveland, Missouri, and has been listed for sale here on eBay. I suspect that in the end, it will come down to the next owner’s personal preferences. As you look at the El Camino, you will find that there are solid arguments for following either pathway. Alternatively, the next owner might also choose to treat the car to a bit of a performance boost. It runs and drives well, so it could easily be left exactly as it stands. The vehicle is very original and is rust-free. The next owner of this 1959 Chevrolet El Camino has some decisions to make.
