1968 Chevrolet El Camino
Personal story and photograph submitted by owner Bill Bowman
for participation in the the 2008 GM Century Cruise
I purchased my 1968 Chevrolet SS-396 El Camino in Conneticut in 2002. This was the first year for the SS version. Since then I have repainted it factory Fathom Blue. It has a stock 325 horsepower, 396 C.I.D. engine with turbo hydramatic transmission, factory air, vinyl roof cover, and bench seat.
GM’s Century Cruise pays tribute to GM’s past and the passion owners have for their vehicles. On Saturday, August 16, 2008 this vehicle and more than 100 other classic GM vehicles will cruise from the GM Global Headquarters at the Renaissance Center up Woodward Avenue to the heart of the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak and the surrounding suburbs. One of these vehicles will be crowned “top cruiser” based on a text voting campaign.
