Other El Camino part VI

I was browsing the web on the other day and I came across this post on Chevelles.com forum.

In that post was a picture of "old friend" 442 Oldsmobile that has a bed. 

These two photos have been circulating the web way longer than I can remember. I even tried to contact the builder Murphy Walker, one time, but didn't get far. 

Now, as I was thinking that maybe this time I have a better luck to reach out the builder and get the story behind this marvelous custom job.


When I was doing "research" again, I came across this:

When I asked more about it, but like many things in happenings that are drive-in shows, not much, but he had 3/4 shot from the rear and we can see that this Caminofication still has El Caminos rear end.

And When I was browsing Paul's photostream I came across this one:

Olds 442 El Camino


Oldsmobile El Camino 442


Now I am not saying this is exactly the same than the much circulated photo of 442 Camino, but...

And while I was browsing Paul's photostream I came across this one:

1969 "Hurst/Olds Speedwagon"

Which is whole another story.
