    I think this one belongs in this thread. Not sure if it's a car made into a pickup, or a pickup with a car front end mated to it.

    For sale on that one particularly awful social media platform. As Anthony says. I'd drive it.

    I'd like to see other angles of this car but it appears to have been done extremely well.

    I can only give you what I got. When I post on the HAMB ,I try to give as much visual and textual information as I can. I know people always want as much of the story as they can get. Me ,I'm no different.

    I can appreciate that. Guess I was just hoping someone might have some other pics of it, not necessarily you. Thanks for posting the pic of this.

    From the Traditional Images thread, posted by DDDenny
    [​IMG]
    "For some reason, we could find only a black-and-white photo of the Surfer I alone, shown here on the styling court at the GM Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. A production ’65 El Camino was relieved of its entire roof and greenhouse, creating an open-air roadster pickup with no apparent provision for a convertible top. The wheels appear to be Corvette items with fabricated center caps.
    Like many factory show cars, the Chevrolet Surfer I had a short service life. The car and its matching boat were shown just twice, it seems: at the Chicago Auto Show on February 20-28, 1965, and in the General Motors Futurama exhibit at the New York World’s Fair that same year. The purpose of the California-themed rig, reportedly, was to promote the brand-new 396 cubic-inch Turbo-Jet V8, a mid-year introduction for Chevrolet in 1965."

    I don't think Harry Karl's Caddy was actually made into a pickup, it just had an extra long trunk.

    Seems Mr. Karl had a penchant for gambling, bad investing and women.

    I wonder why they left the back side doors in.
