I am restoring a '59 El Camano and have questions about equpment. My info comes from a Oct 1, 1958 Chevrolet publication.
1. Was there other publications dated after 10-58.
2. Were both A/C systems ( in-dash and under-dash) listed in the Chevy Car brosure available?
3. Was up-graded interior trim levels available?
4. Is a restoration Authenticity Manual available?
Thanks for any help you may have.
Fred

Answer to #2

Factory AC was available
Dealer installed Factory type AC was available
Dealer installed under dash AC was available using all GM stuff under the hood.


I have been told that anything available in the passenger car line was available in the ElCamino
Power Windows
Power Brakes
Power Seat--------why??
Padded Dash
AC

As for the seat covering, door panels, and flooring----not absolutely positive
Carpet and cloth seats may have been available, but the car is still just a Biscayne with BelAir side trim.
