The last year of the Chevrolet El Camino was 1987. This iconic coupe utility vehicle was produced in various iterations from 1959 to 1987, with its most notable runs occurring in the 1960s and 1970s. The 1987 model marked the end of the El Camino's production after nearly three decades. After its discontinuation, the El Camino has remained a classic among car enthusiasts.
In 1959, Chevrolet produced approximately 22,000 El Caminos. This model marked the second year of production for the El Camino, which combined features of a pickup truck and a passenger car. The 1959 El Camino is notable for its distinctive styling, including its tailfins and chrome accents.

Production ceased after the 1987 model year, as sales of the Chevrolet S-10 true pickup truck were outselling its passenger car counterpart. 1984 to 1987 El Caminos (and its sister, the GMC Caballero) were produced in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. Around 200 unsold 1987 El Caminos were sold as 1988 models.
