Right GM divisions as players, but in the opposite direction
and a couple years before the El Camino...

The El Morocco was a '56 or '57 Chevy Bel Air customized on a
semi-assembly line basis to resemble the '55-'56 Eldorado
Biarritz/Seville ('56) or the Eldorado Brougham ('57).

The '56 was available as a convertible or 2drHT, while the '57
was available as a 4drHT in addition to the previous models.
(Personally, I wish they'd done a Nomad...)

Obligatory Forward Look content:  Ruben Allender, creator
of the El Morocco, used off-the-shelf parts whenever he could.
The '56 El Morocco taillight assemblies were '55-'56 Dodge
Coronet units mounted side-by-side to resemble those used by
Cadillac.
