The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupe utility vehicle produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors from 1959 through 1960, with production resuming in 1964 and continuing through 1987. El Camino was produced in response to the success of its rival Ford Ranchero. El Camino was based on corresponding Chevrolet car lines, though in North America, the vehicle is classified as a truck and titled as such. It has a variant called the GMC Sprint and later named the GMC Caballero from 1978-1987. In Mexico, it was sometimes sold as the Chevrolet Conquistador.
