bonjour !

Les "Cameo Carrier"... vénérable ancêtre des El Camino !

J'ai eu la chance d'en voir trois de près. → Rare, est le mot qui leur convient le mieux.

Camionnettes Chevrolet Cameo Carrier
1955-1958
The mid-1955 introduction of Chevrolet's Cameo Carrier pickup truck helped pave the way for the El Camino.
Although it was a model variant of Chevrolet's light-duty pickup, the Cameo offered an array of car-like features that included passenger-car styling, fiberglass rear fenders, two-tone paint, a relatively luxurious interior, as well as an optional V8 engine, automatic transmission, and power assists. Other pickup truck producers, including Dodge, Ford, and International, began to offer flush-side cargo boxes on some of their 1957 models.
However, Ford also introduced the 1957 Ranchero, and established a new market segment in the U.S. market of an automobile platform based coupe utility.
In 1959, Chevrolet responded with the El Camino to compete with Ford's full-sized Ranchero. The El Camino and Ranchero would compete directly only in the 1959 model year.
