Right GM divisions as players, but in the opposite direction and a couple years before the El Camino... The El Morocco was a '56 or '57 Chevy Bel Air customized on a semi-assembly line basis to resemble the '55-'56 Eldorado Biarritz/Seville ('56) or the Eldorado Brougham ('57). The '56 was available as a convertible or 2drHT, while the '57 was available as a 4drHT in addition to the previous models. (Personally, I wish they'd done a Nomad...) Obligatory Forward Look content: Ruben Allender, creator of the El Morocco, used off-the-shelf parts whenever he could. The '56 El Morocco taillight assemblies were '55-'56 Dodge Coronet units mounted side-by-side to resemble those used by Cadillac. ----------------------------------------------------- Get free personalized email at http://email.lycos.com |
