Did you all know GMC sold Sedan Deliveries with Pontiac sheet metal in the '50s to expand their light truck line-up? Did you know the first Chevy pickups were built on the Chevy car chassis? I guess Chevy Trucks hasn't had their 100th anniversary yet and all that hoopla was a farse

Nailed it! If they are cars then the stuff being hauled in the bed would be your kids, right? I mean, the argument always goes to "They are built on a station wagon chassis"

Only by some. Never by many. I think people don't want to settle it out, would rather perpetually argue. Kinda like Capital Hill. Closed minded thinkers learn less. The El Camino is neither. It is just a pickup. Leave it at that. Cars don't have bodies designed more for hauling a load than carrying people. What do you call the portion of the body behind the doors? A bed, a pickup bed. It's the most worthless argument not worth the air it takes to do so.

Don't get me wrong, I love El Camino's, but I was dead wrong about the time line. I went to the top right of "General Discussion" and searched this thread, and the subject has come up a lot more often that I thought.
That in itself says to me that El Camino's are popular with truck guys.
special-K would be disappointed in me if I didn't post a picture of ours.

That's right. You have met the minimum requirement.
When do we start arguing over the HHR Panel that isn't a car but sits on a Cobalt chassis? How about all these new little vans? Are they cars with no windows shaped really funny with no back seats? Does anyone know of any being used as a car?
