Why Did Chevrolet Discontinue The El Camino?
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?
USB Drive Not Showing Up On Windows: How To Fix It
A USB drive not showing up is a common Windows problem that can frustrate a user to the core. Imagine working hours on a project, then saving it in your external USB drive, and when you finally plug your drive into a device for presentation, it just doesn't show up. The drive doesn't appear even after multiple tries. This issue is often followed by an error message or no response at all. It can lead to loss of work, productivity, and much more.
What Was The 'P71' Crown Victoria, And How Fast Was It?
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.
The 4 Most Comfortable Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Seats That Riders Swear By
Harley-Davidson has long been one of the most popular motorcycle brands. The company is known for building large cruisers for beginners and advanced riders, and the brand has developed an image of freedom and individuality through its many years of production. However, for all of the things we love about Harley-Davidson bikes, there are also a few things that aren't so great. One of the biggest issues that owners have with some Harley motorcycles is their uncomfortable rear suspension, especially on long rides. Fortunately, there are some ways to fix that problem.
Every Major Cordless Reciprocating Saw Brand Ranked Worst To Best
We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. A reciprocating saw can be invaluable no matter your profession or what project is on your home improvement to-do list. Whether you're cutting pipes, trimming trees, or even tackling rebar, there's a reciprocating saw that's perfect for the job. Yet casual users don't necessarily need something very high-powered (or expensive).
Who Built The Jeepster Commando & What's One Worth Today?
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that most Jeeps have a familiar silhouette. The whole point of the brand is to make cars that wouldn't look out of place on either a casual jaunt to the beach or on an active battlefield, with stout, muscular bodies and rugged tires. However, we only know Jeeps to have this appearance now because the brand spent decades perfecting its aesthetic. In years past, Jeep didn't quite know what to do with itself, especially during some particularly turbulent times in the late '50s and early '60s.
6 Under-The-Radar Bauer Tools That Are More Useful Than You'd Think
Harbor Freight has many unexpected finds at a great price. The business is known for having high-quality tools at lower prices — in fact, it's in the slogan. One of those finds is the line of Bauer power tools. They aren't on a DeWalt or Milwaukee level, but due to being a mid-level tool product, they are on par with Ryobi and Hart and several have high ratings. In truth, there are many that can be considered must-haves for your home garage.
5 Mechanic-Approved Tips For Buying A Used Car
Buying a used car can be like walking blindfolded into the ocean — it's hard to know if you're going to be able to float along peacefully or if you're about to be eaten by sharks. This is true whether you're buying from a private party or used car dealer, but there are a few things you can do before trading money for keys and a title that can help ensure you're getting a bargain and not a rotting lemon. In my 53 years, I have only owned three new cars: a 1994 Mazda Protégé and two early 2000s Volkswagen's. All of the other dozen or so vehicles I have purchased were at least 15 years old and had upwards of 100,000 miles on the odometer.
