Long before Brad Pitt ever uttered "Ellllllll-Camino" in "The Mexican," people everywhere already knew about the truck-sedan hybrid. It was one of the best utility coupe car-trucks of all time and a direct challenge to the Ford Ranchero in the 1959 model year. Unfortunately, Ford had too much of a stranglehold on the market, since it had been out for two years already. The El Camino's first generation only lasted until 1960 and didn't return until 1964, meaning the El Camino was no stranger to being discontinued by the time Chevy pulled it for good in 1987. So, why did Chevy finally decide to pull the plug on such an iconic design?

The Dodge Omni sprung into being at a somewhat awkward time for car manufacturers. In the mid to late '70s gas prices shot up, and they had to grapple with a new set of standards for engine fuel economy. So the Omni was intended to push into the more economical side of the market — less "vroom-vroom" more "get to where you need to go reliably, and save on gas."

Newer generations of drivers may not know the name, but the silhouette of the vehicle has become indelible from the sheer number of images and movies it appears in — as a taxi, a family car, and a patrol car. The Ford Crown Victoria's shape has been seared into the mind's eye of many. From 1991 to 1997, Ford produced the first generation of this large, ultra-reliable sedan for families and fleets. It was built on Ford's Panther platform, a body-on-frame design that debuted in 1979 under the LTD, Marquis, and Continental. The automaker was so pleased with the platform that Ford also used it for the Lincoln Town Car and Grand Marquis.
