Two American Classics

I was walking around the Crossroads District in KC back in June for FIRST FRIDAY enjoying the art and live music when I came across these two within a block of each other.

The Chevy El Camino is one of those cars that some people absolutely love, yet others wouldn't touch it with a big stick. A car held in high esteem by NASCAR fans and ridiculed by snotty European sports sedan drivers. Vorsprung durch Technik it ain't.

Whatever side of the fence you happen to be find yourself on you have to appreciate the genius (madness) of putting a flatbed in a sedan and then stuffing it with a big thirsty engine. The stuff of live-rear-axle wet dreams.
And just in case The El Camino didn't live up to it Southern Boy Supercar image check out this sticker

And now for something completely different...
