El Camino and SS, 1959-1987 - This book tells the El Camino
story through contemporary road and comparison tests plus
model introductions and includes full technical and specification

between 1961 and 1963. The 1968 range was the first to carry
a Super Sport option and the seventies also saw an estate
derivative. Both disappeared after 1977 with the arrival of
emissions regulations. Later models did not disappoint however,
and the variants of the early eighties were to the forefront
of the latest developments. Models covered: the 283, 327,
348, 305, 350, 396, SS 396, Trimatic, 454, 4100 auto, Turbo
