Grumpy Jenkins' '65 El Camino

[Snake45]

On pages 82 and 83 of the Grumpy's Toys book, there are a couple photos of Jenkins' shop with his '65 El Camino in the background. It seems to be Nassau Blue but I can't tell the interior color, or what kind of wheels it has. I want to build a stock-ish '65 Elky and might as well build this one while I'm at it. Does anyone here happen to know the interior color? Considering Grump's long relationship with Cragar, it wouldn't be out of line to assume Cragar wheels, would it (unless someone happens to know differently)?

Snake! The rims look to me like the classic chevy rims! Ahhh theres a name for them, has the center cap with bowtie on it! Tne chrome beauty ring them! 68 69 70 etc has them! Some camaros! I think there called rally rims with beauty rim! Thats what thy look look to me when i blow the pic up! My guess is the standard black interrior on that EL Camino! An i think you have the color right..

Haaa, that is a really cool modeling topic!!....I have the Grumpy book also and it claims he had that thing for over 30 years!!!

Have no idea what color the interior would have been but you might want to consider modeling the front seat with a dozen or so cigar burns !!!

Seeing how much the Grump loved his stogies, I'd bet in the 30 years of running around Berwyn and Malvern with it, he had to have dropped a few

lit ones on the seat or floor!!!
