What happens when you combine two California icons — the tony SoCal neighborhood of Bel Air and El Camino Real (aka The King's Highway)? The Bel Camino, of course. If Chevy had introduced the ElCo in '57 instead of two years later, this is...
Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Today we're going to take a look at a car that was once everywhere, selling in numbers so vast that Ford...
