How many vehicles models have been converted into a pickup? aka El Camino. (2 Viewers)

[PabloCruise]

An outfit called National Coachworks built somewhere between 80 and 350 of these Fairmont conversions in 1981 and possibly 1982. Wiki’s modest write-up is here. And yes, this Durango is keeping company with another “ute”, and it’s not exactly stock either.Cohort Outtake: 1981 Ford Durango – Shoulda’, Coulda’, Did!

"An Alfa Romeo 6C Freccia d’Oro which had been converted to a flatbed to transport Bianchi racing cycles. The barn-find discovery was used by the Fratelli Montevecchi team on the Giro d’Italia in the ‘50s, and hopefully will be restored for retro cycle events."

I just got an email with 14 examples and for the first time I cannot save any of them as a picture. Tried all of my usual tricks. If someone wants to see them or try to copy them to this thread PM me an email address so you can give it a shot. Some are pretty cool.
