The Dream can't be dead if it's still in my head - Chevy Considers Return Of The El Camino

[ocnblu]

That green is spectacular. Has retro overtones... was it Rally Green on the '69 Camaro I'm thinking of?

I can see where you get that vibe from it.

I was thinking mid-sixties Pontiac teal.

In fact, I think the color is Pontiac-perfect!

[ocnblu]

It appears to have a lot of pearl in it, it looks purple on the leading edge of the fender... very nice.

[Camino LS6]

Obviously, it's very lighting-dependent.

Not sure on the purple - could be.

[Robert Hall]

I love greens...I like Rally Green, the Corvette's Goodwood Green, Pontiac's Verdoro Green..Ford's Black Jade and Lime Gold/Lime Frost (Mercury equivalent).

One of my favorite GM greens is this color---similar to Ford's Lime Gold/Lime Frost.

[Oracle of Delphi]

When/if this happens, I hope this color is still available.

OMFG, I go through all this work to bring it back, and as a Chevy El Camino too, and now you want a special color besides?

Damn right!

I'm one tough customer.

At least you are close to seeing your dream come true.

[Camino LS6]

It's already been even closer...

We all know how that worked out.

[NINETY EIGHT REGENCY]

The Pontiac G8 ST. I understand. You are frustrated by empty promises.

[Camino LS6]

Well, I certainly have been, but I still have some hope that this time it will happen.

I would very much like to have reason to change my sig.

I hope you will get that chance to do so.. I really do.

Yeah....

Only way it would have been closer would be for this pic to have been taken at my local BPG dealership.

[Camino LS6]

I'm still jealous about that, Z!

You lucky dog, you!

I have to agree. With their time line and what all can happen I would not get too excited yet. There is enough time for 3 different CEO's to cancel this.

If it is ment to come here it will. In the mean time just live life as it is and see what comes of this.

As long as Mark Reuss is in the mix I am sure all that can be done to make it happen will be done. It is just up to the global economics and GM condition to see what happens.

[Camino LS6]

Having a Holden alum and true car guy running GMNA certainly bodes well for this. And, it can't hurt that rumblings from Ford indicate that they may be bringing Falcon here.

That fact alone may be enough to push the reactionaries within GM in the right direction for a change.

We shall see.

[GMTruckGuy74]

I sure do hope this finally becomes reality. It would have been nice for GM to have offered the Ute as a Chevy El Camino once the decision to scrap the G8 ST was made and/or the decision to kill off Pontiac. This is one halo vehicle I could see myself looking into for a new purchase, even as a Chevy

[Oracle of Delphi]

Damn right!

Just for that, I've decided to have it cancelled again ...

Some Christmas spirit there, Mr, Oracle.
