Across the street from Eliot’s preschool is an auto repair shop, and every day I see this exceptional piece of American engineering parked out front:
Yeah, I know: BITCHIN’!! But why do I really care? Because if you look closely, you’ll realize it’s an El Camino. . . with the front end of a Camaro.
It’s. . . an EL CAMARO!
Dude who hybridized a vehicular mullet, I salute you.

Those are mighty rare animals in my current neck of the woods. However I did grow up Downriver which is a section of southeast Michigan comprised of 16-ish cities that are down the Detroit River from the city. Hence the snazzy name.
Just thought of this: there are no sections north of Detroit called Upriver or Upwind. Huh.
Regardless, I’ve seen a lot of those cars Downriver. And just to give you some perspective, Taylor — one of the cities down there — is referred to as Taylor-tucky. An ode to Kentucky which, I would guess, is home to many of those hybrids.

OK – that car style was wrong in the 70’s and has not improved with age.
