Good catch on the chassis. I haven't noticed that yet.

The '59 El Camino chassis is closer to reality but it too is missing the wagon's spare tire well.

Below: 1) AMT Jr. Trophy 04-740 '60 Chevy Wagon kit (1963) chassis.

            2) AMT '59 El Camino kit (1964) chassis.

The original Craftsman wagon kit was pieced together from the original promo model wagon (which may have only had a metal chassis) and the hardtop/convertible kits which were produced from another tool.  The wagon kit's rear bumper was reworked from the HT/conv piece, you can see where the original license plate recess was filled in to move it down for the wagon.

The '59 El Camino chassis doesn't have the spare tire recess out back because the Camino's spare is behind the seat on the passenger side.
