In 1978 my Chevelle was only 6 years old. Today it's 48 years old and still the best car I've ever owned. I drive the old chevy less these days, but she's still solid as a rock.
Yes you are right my Dad had a 74 ss 350 4 barrel . It was a great car with little power but enough to pull a 22 ft fifth wheel camper trailer gooseneck. Yes no typo it was the only El Camino I ever saw pulling a fifth wheel. It did very well considering the amount of horsepower. Funny, I pull a 32 ft trailer with my F350 diesel and think how different we looked at things back then.
The El Camino is 1974 model. In 1978 they were downsized along with rest of the Malibu lineup. My Dad was fan of the 73-77 El Camino and Malibu, he had a few of them. Then got a 1978 El Camino and didn't like it as much. The Camaro is a 77 as that was close to the first year (1975) of the HEI ignition and Catalytic Converter, they were still big selling points back then. The Monza is a 78, interestingly it was just a repackaged Vega with conventional engines. Still a fun video but should have the title slightly edited. Thank you for posting these fun old video's
My high school ride (77-79) was a 64 El Camino with the 327. I got into a fair amount of trouble with this car, but it was worth it. Built the same as the Chevelle station wagon, just with the back cut open into a bed.
I had a had a gmc sprint in red and white. 350, 2bbl, 3 sp. auto. I lived in NE Montana at the time. Drive legally at any speed (up to 100 mph). Rally wheels and police qualified tires (stiff sidewalls). This was the perfect car but for the smog equipment. Never equaled.
The Nova was the better choice. I've owned either the '73 or '74 Nova's over the years. Loved them model years. Had owned the Spirit of America edition once. Now classics!
Notice, other than a brief mention at the beginning, the "Monza S" was not given any screen time.... because it was a Vega with a new front facia. I actually saw one as a kid, and pointed it out. "Hey a Vega with a new front end!" Nobody believed me. I wonder if it was the old Vega inside.
I wish I still had my 1980 Monza Sport Coupe! These cars got such a bad rap, but both me and my brother had one and we both have said the same thing.... one of the most reliable cars we ever had and very inexpensive to keep and the gas millage was awesome for the time. Not sure how it would compare now? Great little cars!
I had a 78 Monza Spyder. It had a 305 V8/ 4 spd. manual. That car would fly. The only thing i wish it had was a 5 spd. The only thing i had to do was put 60's on all 4 corners. I wish i had kept it!
LOVE THESE OLD CHEVROLET PROMO VIDEOS, BUT YES EL CAMINO IS DEF A 1974, MY SISTER PURCHASED A NEW AT THE TIME 74 MALIBU CLASSIC, AND 78 CAMARO HAD MOLDED BUMPERS , BUT STILL A GREAT PIECE OF HISTORY :)
It is a 74. My grandfather had one and I drove it quite a bit. The 74 elCamino still had the old style shoulder belts that hooked into the lap belts to make a 3 point belt. You could wear just the lap belt as the shoulder belt was still optional. I was probably the only 16 yr old that wore the lap and shoulder belts back then. Didn't like sliding on those vinyl bench seats or the thoughts of possibly eating the steering wheel in a crash. One good feature was the ashtray and lighter were easy to reach even when wearing the shoulder belt.
The El Camino shown is actually a 1974 model. I owned a 1974 Malibu which was the standard car version of that vehicle. The 1978 El Camino was the first year for the shrunken version.
I am 64 and in the late 70's my buddy and his GF bought a late 70's 4 cyl. Monza notchback auto. I hate to say it but I think a late 60's bug could beat it on acceleration and top speed, that thing was SLOW
My sister had a Monza with the 4-cylinder. GUTLESS. LOL. She later traded it for a 1978 Camaro RS, a giant leap forward from the Monza, and yet again, a GUTLESS smog-choked 305 V-8. Ah well….
Of all the times I've heard the term "European styling" I don't think I've ever heard it applied to a European car or a Japanese car. I have however heard it used to describe a ridiculous amount of American cars, mostly GM and some Ford. With the exception of Merkurs... I have no idea wth any of these people are talking about. I'd never under any circumstances confuse an American car's looks with a European car. Which freakin European car does a El Camino look like? Blind people could feel the difference, measurable in feet or meters. End rant.
They aren't really saying it looks like any European car in particular, or that it could be mistaken for being made in Europe somewhere. They just mean that it has a certain style that is more reminiscent of a European car of that era, mainly in the front end with a tall squared off nose that stands upright instead of having a little slant fore or aft. Also for quite a while, Detroit was pumping out cars mostly with quad headlights, and they had been for quite a few years. European typical styling was predominantly dual headlights from the beginning of time. There are other styling cues, but I think that's the big one.
They were referring to the Mercedes-Benz style grill. Mercedes-Benz actually sued GM and got them to stop copying their grill design. It’s not the first car company that Mercedes-Benz has had to do that with.
@@davidgold5961 No that's not it. A Celebrity Eurosport would never be confused with a Mercedes. Pontiacs, olds, Buick, Ford Taurus. none of these things would ever be confused with a European car. If you want examples of what I"m referring to watch a few episodes of motorweek. And, European cars of course have, "European styling," to say it would be redundant.
4:00 I always thought those swiveling bucket seats were a solution to a non-problem. I'd rather have more adjustments, which tended to be pretty skimpy in the 1970s.
The EL Camino and Camaro are not 1978. The Monza is though. The El Camino is probably 1974. First, the copyright on the film is 1973 and the base engine for 1973 was the 307 (not mentioned in this video). But in '74 it was the 350. The Camaro is probably 1977 as the copyright on the film seems to be 1976 AND they mentioned service intervals for 1977 - but they did not mention anything of the Z/28 (which came back halfway through the 1977 model year). Still GREAT videos and thank you for posting them.
The Camaro features here appears to be a 75 or 76.. The 78 had a slightly different front and rear end if I remember correctly.. The Z28 was also on a 2 year hiatus during 75 and 76 also if I remember correctly..
It is actually a 1973-1977 (1973-1974 actually) because the 1978-1981 models had a different body, inspired by the downsized 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu. This is actually from 1974.
@@pcno2832 I wouldn't say a Vega in drag, but trying to get over the blunders of what killed the Vega, and started consumers to buy Japanese, not that they were better, but it was all about experience and impression. Especially the 2.3 litre aluminium 4, that killed the reputation of the Vega, Chevrolet and GM.
Not a 1978. In 1978 GM went to a smaller more squared off design with a V6 and tin foil transmission standard. They did that for all cars on the A/G platform,
13:05 I thought the 7,500-10,000 mile oil change scheme was a more recent thing. 15,000 miles for oil filter changes and 7,500 for oil is insane in 2024 much less 1978.
Look online for an El Camino/Sprint club. Just about every line of cars has a club, and in every one of these clubs is a guy, and that guy knows where all the cars are located and who's selling.
This starts out with such a brightly colored vehicle !!! Cars are dull now... Never seen that HEI spark demonstration before 11:36 ... with unleaded gas and HEI dependability, sparkplugs lasted 100,000+ miles instead of barely 10K (they earlier recommended changing at 6K per the video)... or torque arm at 17:55... (although my '77 Astre Formula wagon has it)
This doesn't look like a '78 like the title says. Well before '78, the El Camino would have had quad headlights and they definitely would have been rectangular I believe starting in 1976. Definitely by '77 though. Also, and I could be off a year, but I thought '78 was the first year for the downsized body style. Anyway, large body, single round headlight on each side... probably closer to '73-'75.
There's another comment post in here that contends the El Camino is a '74 model. I've Googled "images" for the '74 model year, and yes, indeed, it was a '74. I get the impression Periscope Films purposely puts incorrect dates on its video posts as a _copyright trap,_ as such strategies are used in cartography/map making with using incorrect spellings of a street names. If someone else was to post this identical video with the 1978 name in the title, then that YT poster could be nailed for copyright infringement.
15:29 They didn't waste much time on the Monza wagon or the Monza S (lower right) , which were just leftover Vega bodies with Monza noses grafted onto them, but I always thought the Vega was a much better looking car than the plasticky Monza, and even the latter Vegas had the torque-arm rear suspension, which was later used in the 1980s Camaros.
El Camino is 1974 model year as seen in film copyright date of MCMLXXIII. Camaro 1977 model year copyright MCMLXXVI. Monza 1978 model year copyright MCMLXXVII.
' old time car is the best, plain, strong, thick metal, very less plastic-rubber, very cheaper currency... but poor lousy design on the rear... but why dont have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights
I wish I could live 1978 over again good times
You are not alone. I'm tired of Walt Disney Production cars!
If i had the 💰 to buy a new chevy 42 yrs ago i'd look at the Camaro Ralley Sport.
In 1978 my Chevelle was only 6 years old. Today it's 48 years old and still the best car I've ever owned. I drive the old chevy less these days, but she's still solid as a rock.
Me too, I was two and three years old great times
@@chuckwhitson654 LoL me too!
This El Camino actually looks like a 73 or 74 to me.. If I remember correctly the El Camino was downsized the same as the Malibu in 78...
YOU ARE CORRECT
I knew it!!
Yes you are right my Dad had a 74 ss 350 4 barrel . It was a great car with little power but enough to pull a 22 ft fifth wheel camper trailer gooseneck. Yes no typo it was the only El Camino I ever saw pulling a fifth wheel. It did very well considering the amount of horsepower. Funny, I pull a 32 ft trailer with my F350 diesel and think how different we looked at things back then.
Plus, not just a downsizing, it also had square headlamps. Forget getting a 454cid after '76.
'76-'77s had the stacked rectangular headlights replacing the dual round ones on the '73-'75s. '78 was downsized.

My brother had a '73 El Camino.it was his 1st brand new vehicle purchase.
I recognize that motorcycle on the bed of the El Camino: A Kawasaki 175 Enduro, as I had one back in the 1970s.
I had a had a gmc sprint in red and white. 350, 2bbl, 3 sp. auto. I lived in NE Montana at the time. Drive legally at any speed (up to 100 mph). Rally wheels and police qualified tires (stiff sidewalls). This was the perfect car but for the smog equipment. Never equaled.
Even nowadays these cars look cool!
My first car was a brown 1977 Chevy Monza 2+2. I had a lot of fun in that car, and it was tougher than what is made now.
Loved my brother's 1977 Monza. I tried to borrow it as much as I could. I was 17. I had a 1974 Chevy Nova but I really wanted my brother's car!!
The Nova in 1974 was a great car. Owned one. A "Spirit Of America" edition.
The Nova was the better choice. I've owned either the '73 or '74 Nova's over the years. Loved them model years. Had owned the Spirit of America edition once. Now classics!
Notice, other than a brief mention at the beginning, the "Monza S" was not given any screen time.... because it was a Vega with a new front facia. I actually saw one as a kid, and pointed it out. "Hey a Vega with a new front end!" Nobody believed me. I wonder if it was the old Vega inside.
The model years here range from 1974 to 1978. The first segment (El Camino) has a copyright date of 1973 (MCMLXXIII).
I have a 78 Elcamino. The body style shown ended in 77.
73-77 stuff here and those years were better off forgotten.
4:30 I love how your engine options were a V8, a V8, or a V8.
That's what all cars should have, a small, medium, or large V8
I wish I still had my 1980 Monza Sport Coupe! These cars got such a bad rap, but both me and my brother had one and we both have said the same thing.... one of the most reliable cars we ever had and very inexpensive to keep and the gas millage was awesome for the time. Not sure how it would compare now? Great little cars!
There's an element you see on that El Camino that you don't see on new vehicles anymore: *A front bumper.*
I had a 78 Monza Spyder. It had a 305 V8/ 4 spd. manual. That car would fly. The only thing i wish it had was a 5 spd. The only thing i had to do was put 60's on all 4 corners. I wish i had kept it!

74 El Camino can't believe that they don't know the difference.
I noticed that myself watchin the video.
It is a 74. My grandfather had one and I drove it quite a bit. The 74 elCamino still had the old style shoulder belts that hooked into the lap belts to make a 3 point belt. You could wear just the lap belt as the shoulder belt was still optional. I was probably the only 16 yr old that wore the lap and shoulder belts back then. Didn't like sliding on those vinyl bench seats or the thoughts of possibly eating the steering wheel in a crash. One good feature was the ashtray and lighter were easy to reach even when wearing the shoulder belt.
As very few people wore seat belts back then, probably very few would pick up on that detail.
🚘 Thank You!
That car looks cool, I'm surprised they don't make one today
If you want to experience quality check out the gas door alignment @1:22. Nice.
Great example of why Japan beat America a few years later.
The El Camino shown is actually a 1974 model. I owned a 1974 Malibu which was the standard car version of that vehicle. The 1978 El Camino was the first year for the shrunken version.
I always wanted a 1970 Camino as a teenager but it wasn’t to be. I did get a Datsun 240Z for my first car which was cool too.
We had a lime green 1974 Chevelle Malibu 4dr with the 350-2 and TH350. Exactly the same grill and wheel covers.
I am 64 and in the late 70's my buddy and his GF bought a late 70's 4 cyl. Monza notchback auto. I hate to say it but I think a late 60's bug could beat it on acceleration and top speed, that thing was SLOW
You are correct about the Monza is a 78.. In 78 the Monza got a restyled front end..
Wow! The front end of that El Camino looks exactly like a Mercedes Benz. (Snark)
Yes, and Mercedes-Benz sued GM to stop copying their grill. It was a successful lawsuit.
I thought Ford was going to bring the Ranchero back...well at least the Bronco is back.
I never really "got" El Caminos, but they've kind of grown on me over the years. But "elegant" isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind.
The El Camino was a Smugglers dream it had an empty compartment in the back
@jason9022 a flat plate in the back of the pickup unscrew
Gotta have what the buyers want...
WIth lots of room too, you can fit two people back there if you remove the spare in my El Camino
@8:45 white seats with green accents great color combo , Monza wagon was just a 71-77 Vega kamback wagon
I had one of those 78 Monzas. Mine had the v6 and a four speed. That "torque arm" that ran along the driveshaft made changing a clutch a bitch.
My sister had a Monza with the 4-cylinder. GUTLESS. LOL.
She later traded it for a 1978 Camaro RS, a giant leap forward from the Monza, and yet again, a GUTLESS smog-choked 305 V-8. Ah well….
74-75 El Camino 454 emblem and round headlamps, gave it away.
Please update your misleading subject line. The El Camino is a '74. The Camaro is a '77. Only the Monza is a '78.

I can remember my neighbor up the street from me owned a 1970 ELC. I think it was the base model with a 307 in the engine bay brown exterior color.
The wagon is just a Vega with a different name.
The rear was also restyled on the Monza as well if I remember correctly..
1974 ElCamino.

..I'd rather have a simple bench seat, which you unfortunately can't get these days :(
Mercedes-Benz successfully sued GM for intellectual property and copyright infringement on that obvious copy of a grille.
I was surprised when Chevrolet reused the Monza name after all the bad press Corvairs got. You'd think they would have permanently shelved that name.
....especially since the Monza was essentially a re-skinned Vega.

Exactly.. Lazy GM just reused an old platform.
That's a 1974 Elcamino that model ended in 1977 they were the strongest heavy duty built out of all of the generations built meaning 1973 to 1977 .

Yes.
It more-or-less WAS the Vega Wagon. They didn't want to waste any more money re-styling the body. Also notice the Monza S, a Vega in drag.

Its too bad Chevrolet didn't import the Commodore Ute and rebadge it as El Camino. Lost opportunity but then GM is always right.
There was talk (and pictures) of a Pontiac G8 'Ute based on the Commodore "Ute in 2008. But, sadly the idea died along with Pontiac division in 2009.

The El Camino was no newer than a 1976 model; that was the last year the mentioned 454 was available in it.
......and it stopped having round headlights in 1977..... and was a completely different design in 1978.
To set the record straight; 1975 was the last year for both the 454 V8 and round headlights .

Why does the el camino not have stacked headlights?
That's definitely not a 78 Camaro. The 78 had urethane bumpers front and rear. Not chrome. Still cool old ads though
