They sound like nice people. My memory isn't what it used to be but back in the day the correct name for the GM pink was "Tahitian Rose".
I saw that car at LSRU a couple years back. Very nice and even better that it gets driven. Wish I could have met the owner. Admittedly I am biased but I will second (or third) the comment that the 59 El Camino is one of GM's finest designs ever.
