I started fast forward pausing wherever the El Camino shows up, where it can be seen the best is at the opening credits, it looks like a tear drop scoop, openings at the rear. Buy the movie it is worth it, that elky plays a big part.

I went and checked out the IMCDB (Internet Movie Cars Database): http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=80881 and when I saw all those cool rods I wondered why I'd never seen that movie! But then I noticed a few words that explain why... Tony Danza, and Fran Drescher.
I still think I'll add it to my Netflix and get it for this weekend.
Here's the Elky: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_853-Chevrolet-El-Camino-1965.html looks kinda like a Thunderbolt type scoop. And Carretera's description sounds the same. But it's too hard to tell on that small pic.
If I can tell more when the movie shows up from Netflix I'll post up...

Finally watched this today... Not so great a movie. It was OK I guess, but just kinda not much plot really. Lotsa cool cars tho!
It is definitely a Ford Thunderbolt style scoop... not something that really would be that cool going on a GM product IMO.
