[QUOTE="X-SPAN, post: 2495, member: 138"] Well it's not exactly the image that comes to mind when I think "Corvette", though I do respect the thought and effort that went into creating it and the quality of workmanship shown. Maybe it's an "acquired taste". :coolgleam: Realistically, it is no more unjustified than a Cadillac pickup or a Lincoln pickup; both of which have had me scratching my head since they first appeared. GM and Ford were both apparently trying to answer a question that nobody was asking. EL Camino and Ranchero car/trucks (in BC they're registered as trucks) made slightly more sense as they were targetted more toward the "working man". I can't picture anyone who has a Cadillac Escalade EXT or a Lincoln Blackwood using it to haul Navvi Jack or cords of firewood. :nono: But I did know an apprentice brick-layer who, in 1966, bought a new El Camino with the 396 engine option (it [B]was[/B] a beautiful vehicle) then proceeded to throw, yes [B]throw[/B]!!!, bricks into the unlined, unprotected box. More money than brains!:mad: Corvette "enhancements" that don't appeal to me are Corvette limousines and jacked-up "vettes with 4x4 running gear. :eek: [/QUOTE]
