Scale Models
Scale promotional models and kits of the El Camino were available throughout the car's production. The first-generation vehicles were available from SMP and AMT as both promos and kits in 1:25 scale, which continued after 1964, when the El Camino joined the Chevelle lineup. The 1973-77 models were not produced in miniature (the same was true of the Chevelle). Starting in 1978, both promos and kits were once again available from MPC. The promos were done in many popular colors, and were produced until 1983. Other El Caminos were available as kits from Revell and Monogram in 1:24 scale for specific years, including 1966 and 1978. AMT also offered a 1968 El Camino SS396 in kit form as a new tool in 2006, with lots of detail. This model was "loaded" with options, including air conditioning, automatic transmission, power steering and brakes.

Famous quotes containing the words scale and/or models:
“I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
