The first Coupe Utility I can remember was when I was between 5 and 7. One of the cul de sac neighbors had one. I think it may have been an El Camino. I kinda liked how it was different from everything else on the road. What was the first Ute you can ever remember seeing?

The first one I can remember was when I was 6 or 7. It was a 66 el camino my grandfather bought. It was all original and in great shape. 327ci v8 with factory 4 speed, bucket seats, console just a neat car. It was fun riding around in that car.

Around when I was 5, a family friend (technically my godfather) drove a Ranchero for work. Very similar to the picture, except silver with a black stripe.

My best friend's dad in elementary school flipped fox body mustangs and 80s El Caminos as a hobby/side income so there were constantly a couple at his house in various stages of disrepair. His garage was amazing and had so many spare parts that he probably could have gone into business on them alone.

I think an early 80's Elky, may have been one that belonged to a friend of my dad's.
