Thinking outside the box...'60 Elcamino.

Correct me if I am wrong, a lot of excitement about the upcoming AMT Chevy wagon. I have heard some plan to kitbash an Elcamino combining the wagon with the AMT '59 Elcamino.

But the Elcamino has a shorter 2dr wheel base, than the 4dr wagon. We saw the same problem when Revell converted their '57 Country Squire wagon to Ranchero.

Wrong wheelbase= bed too long.

Speed ahead 50 years, Revell released another station wagon, this time on the shorter 2 door platform, a 🏆 Winner.

I took advantage of the wagon, and converted it to a Ranchero with a little work. I built mine from the GASSER kit but plan to build a stock version now that it has been reissued again.

My wish list, I wish Revell would give us a '57 Ranchero from their wagon tooling, and a '60 Elcamino from their old Impala tooling, I always thought they would long ago.
