I agree that this is a superbly done mock up from an El Camino. Too bad Olds didn't get one of these. May have out-sold the El Camino SS.

I have seen that before. It makes you wonder if Olds shot it down or if Chevy couldn't stand the competition.

The hood stripes look awesome. I like how they are similar and come to point like the side stripe does

that pic at the track looks like the sun is pointing the way straight down the track

More likely, they bagged it either at the end of a hook or from a trawler's fish net
