![]() The El Camino, however, managed to outsell the Ranchero's 14,169 units with 22,246 built in the first year. Built on the fullsize Brookwood station wagon platform, it had the same "cat’s eye" taillights and "bat mobile" rear fins as the Impala which sold in fewer numbers than the more conservatively styled Fords. The 119-inch wheelbase and passenger car chassis ensured a pleasant ride and good handling - something few pickups of the period could boast. Automatic transmissions were also available-either the Powerglide (a 2-speed automatic) or the Turboglide (a continuously variable automatic). But there were engine upgrade options, starting with two V8 engines: One offered 170 horsepower (improved to 230 in 1960), with 283 cubic inches and fuel injection the second V8 option was up to 355 horsepower, with 348 cubic inches and three carburetors. inline 6-cylinder, with a 3-speed manual transmission. The standard engine was a 135-hp, 235-cu.-in. Although the El Camino wasn't the first vehicle to blend a passenger-car platform with the utility of a truck’s cargo bed, it was ultimately the most successful in the United States. The inaugural El Camino was introduced as the flagship of Chevrolet light-duty truck line. The first-generation GM version of the car-based pickup debuted on Octoas a new " 1959" model. ![]() ![]() Two years later, GM answered with the Chevrolet version, christened "El Camino" which is Spanish for "the road" (or "the way"). General Motors was left without an equivalent product, and not responding to the blue-oval threat simply wasn't an option. Relatively popular in the prewar years, car-based pickups had all but disappeared from the American landscape when Ford launched it's 1957 Ranchero in December 1956. The Ranchero was more car than truck (the reverse of the Cameo Carrier) and gave buyers the usefulness of a light pickup truck with the comforts (and familiarity) of an everyday driving car. Although not a big seller, the Camino Carrier, which never made a comeback, did inspire Ford to rethink the pickup concept and set the stage for it's Ranchero. Boasting V-8 power, automatic transmission, two-tone paint, and deluxe interior, the " 1955" Chevrolet Cameo narrowed the distance between car and truck. While it was stylish inside and out and turned heads, in reality it was a well-designed version of the Chevy Task Force generation of pickup trucks. They rolled out a specially designed and fancied-up version of their pickup truck to add style and comfort.

The growth comes out pink then turns to pink, white and green. It has green and white, variegated, delicately cut leaves with pinkish edges. Butterfly Japanese maple is an upright growing variety. This is by far one of my favorite plants, but then again, I have a lot of “favorite plants”. I have to devote at least on paragraph to this ‘Butterfly’ Japanese Maple. Using ‘Butterfly’ Japanese maple in a landscape design. Looking at the photo below you can see some Heuchera ‘Caramel’ in the planting on the other side of the sidewalk. Heuchera ‘Caramel’ which is burnt orange loves the sun! There’s a photo of ‘Caramel’ at the top of this post. Amber Waves did okay for me in the sun, but not great. I have some with a burnt orange colored leaf and they love the sun! Those with yellow, yellow leaves like Huechera Citronelle will not tolerate the sun. as a matter of fact, most Coral Bells do fine for me in the sun except the ones with a lot of yellow in the leaves. But those with dark colored leaves do perfectly fine in the sun. Using Heuchera, Coral Bells, in a Landscape Planting.Ĭoral Bells are shade loving, shade tolerant plants. There are rules written by so called experts, then there are proven, practical, boots on the ground, things that people like me know work, because we’ve actually done it and not just researched and written about it.

The colorful plants used as accent plants in this landscape design are Coral Bells, botanical name Heuchera. ![]() Two of my other favorite Junipers are ‘Blue Rug’ and ‘Green Mound’.Ī colorful landscape design idea for sidewalk planting.įrom another angle you can see the Japanese maples and the accent plants used in this design. It is low-growing, slower-growing than many, and very easy to maintain. ‘Table Top’ is an exception to that rule. There are a lot of Junipers to choose from, and most of them I do not like at all. The greenish blue evergreens that you see repeated in this design are Table Top Juniper. ![]() Left untrimmed or lightly trimmed, ‘Butterfly’ would grow to a height of 10′ or more. Even though ‘Butterfly’ is an upright-growing Japanese maple it is a slow grower and in this situation, my wife and I keep it trimmed so it doesn’t hover over the sidewalk and block the view as you walk down the sidewalk. The Japanese maple in the back of the photo, the one furthest from us is an upright Japanese Maple, the variety is ‘Butterfly’. The Japanese maple closest to us in this photo is a Laceleaf Weeping Japanese Red Maple. There may also be restrictions regarding the type of plants and trees you are allowed to plant.This design features two Japanese maples as specimen plants and a variety of color plants as accent plants, with repetition. If you plan to build a structure for landscaping, there may be specific regulations in place that you must comply with. Lastly, consider the regulations that are in place in your locality. If you love growing your own food, now may be the time to plan a nursery or backyard veggie garden. For example, planting trees or tall shrubs at east- or south-facing windows will help keep interior space cool naturally. It is also a good idea to plan the landscaping to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of the home. Know the environment around the home, including the type of soil, other plants, shrubs, or trees that are already present, available space, etc. To prepare, make the necessary measurements to ensure that any additions are the right size and location. All landscaping work must have a plan to minimize costly errors that could affect the appearance and function of the space around the home. |
