1981 Chevrolet El Camino

The 1981 models received a new horizontal tube grille, and the engines mostly continued from 1980 but now used General Motors' Computer Command Control emission system. The 1981 El Camino was the fourth year of the fifth generation, built on the G body platform with the sharp edged styling adopted from the Malibu, and was twinned with the GMC Caballero. It was the last year before the new frontal appearance with a crosshatch grille that came for 1982, and the Royal Knight package for Super Sport models continued.
