My El Camino was built in Arlington, Texas, a major suburb of Dallas that is
where the Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys play. It seems to have always been
a Texas car, mostly in the northern part of the state. The first owners lived
in Dalhart, then a guy in Pampa bought it, and that is where my grandfather
found it and brought it down to me in Houston. I've taken it out of state once
on a long trip to New Jersey and back but it's spent the vast majority of its
life in Texas.
