Was that Wiley Cossey ElCamino blue by any chance?

Years ago at Bakersfield HotRod Reunion there was a blue 59 triple carb , 4 speed El Camino for sale quite cheap. Looked like it'd been parked for years.

If I wasn't a Ford diehard i'd have bought it. I had a 67 Ranchero 390, 4 speed and looked at making a Stocker of it, but it's not in the guide.
Compared to a regular Fairlane it's 3" shorter wheelbase and the extra 100lbs is all in the back, double walls, tailgate, etc. I'd imagine an ElCamino is the same way compared to a Chevelle, if not in wheelbase then the extra weight out back.
