The Gardener's Johnny Lightning 1959 Chevrolet El Camino

This Johnny Lightning rendition of the 1959 Chevrolet El Camino.  It's a great looking model and it has a real rustic feel.  It looks like an old gardening implement.

The Chevy El Camino was introduced in 1959.  It was made from 1959 to 1960 and then from 1964 through 1987.  President Bill Clinton even confessed to owning one and lining the pickup bed with astroturf for ...um... sowing oats, gardening, and that sort of thing.



This 1959 El Camino comes from a more innocent time and was introduced as GM's answer to the Ford Ranchero.
