Classics: El Camino
1986 El Camino (fifth generation)
The Chevrolet El Camino isn’t just a car; it’s a cultural statement. Debuting in 1959, the El Camino had a distinctive design philosophy that defied categories. It combined the robust utility of a pickup with the stylized look of a muscle car, instantly polarizing the American market. The design was an answer to Ford’s Ranchero, and though it took a few years to find its true footing, Chevy eventually carved out a legacy with the El Camino that would last for decades.
Chevrolet introduced the El Camino as a utility vehicle that could do more than just haul tools and materials; it could also turn heads. Modeled after the Impala, the first generation was sleek but struggled to define itself. This changed in 1964 when Chevrolet based the second generation on the Chevelle, outfitting it with a more powerful V8 engine. This redefined the El Camino as more than a pickup, making it a muscle car in its own right—a move that would transform its image and fan base.
Tint job preparation
The El Camino’s unique silhouette—a long hood, wide bed, and angular rear—drew attention. It was perfect for those who wanted both function and flair, giving it a cult status that persists today. Classic car enthusiasts admire the El Camino for its versatility and ability to customize, making each one a unique canvas for personalization, whether with a tint job, custom paint, or a rumbling new engine.
Today, the El Camino represents an open canvas for restoration. Tuning enthusiasts and restorers are drawn to it for the same reason it became popular decades ago: it defies easy categorization. With a tint job, a fresh coat of paint, or even a complete engine overhaul, the El Camino can transform into a one-of-a-kind piece of American history. For photographers, the elongated lines, chrome accents, and bold stance make it a perfect subject, especially with the authentic look and feel of film photography.

As you document your restoration process through photos and articles, the El Camino’s story will connect with readers who appreciate both classic car culture and the art of restoration. From its rebellious origins to its status as a collector’s dream, each El Camino on the road today tells its own story—and, with a tint job and the click of a camera, you’re adding another chapter.
The Tint Rush: A cash grab for all
Keep it 100...
Window tinting has long been a preference for many vehicle owners, offering benefits such as privacy, UV protection, and heat reduction. However, the new law in Philadelphia serves as a reminder that in capitalist societies, regulations often intersect with economic interests, consumer behavior, and industry dynamics.
As of July 1st, 2024—vehicles in the city of Philadelphia may receive a $100 parking ticket for tint that does not pass state laws.
One immediate impact of the law is on consumers. Those who have invested in heavily tinted windows may face unexpected expenses due to fines. Moreover, individuals who prioritize aesthetic or privacy considerations in their vehicle modifications might find themselves at odds with regulatory requirements, leading to a potential conflict between personal preference and legal compliance.
Tools for tinting windows
Perhaps it’s not entirely about preference, but for those who truly need it. For people like Linda, who has sensitive eyes/an astigmatism that is aided with a quality film that offers her excellent optical clarity.
Or guys like Tom, who commutes over five hours a day back and forth to New York City. Tom is a blue collar construction worker who noticeably spends time with his left arm resting on the top of his door panel. He comes to us in search of a material that can protect his skin from the sun.
Or even someone named Julie, who might just like the way her car looks with tinted windows. Notable mention on how she feels safer leaving her camera in the car since it’s harder for people to “window shop” before breaking her glass.

From an economic standpoint, the enforcement of such laws can influence consumer spending patterns. Vehicle owners may divert funds from other discretionary purchases towards modifying their vehicles to comply with the regulations. There are plenty more detailing services to keep in mind when shopping for car cosmetic upgrades. Think PPF, ceramic coatings, vinyl wraps, interior/exterior cleans, or whatever else you can imagine deep inside of your car dreams!
Beyond the immediate economic ramifications, the Philadelphia window tinting law reflects broader societal attitudes towards regulation and individual freedoms within a capitalist framework. It prompts discussions about the balance between personal choice and public safety, as well as the role of government in regulating consumer behavior.
Ultimately, the introduction of such regulations underscores the intricate dance between governance, consumer behavior, and economic interests in capitalist societies. As individuals and businesses navigate the complexities of compliance, one thing remains clear: in the capitalist landscape, even the tint on our windows can serve as a lens through which to examine the interplay of regulation and economics.

From the showroom to savings
A guide to paint protection film (PPF)

As a new car owner in the Mainline, PA area, you're likely familiar with the exhilaration of driving your freshly acquired vehicle out of the showroom. The gleaming finish, the invigorating scent, and the immaculate exterior create an unmatched experience. But did you know that there's a way to preserve that pristine appearance for years to come while you save on potential repair costs? Let's delve into the benefits of Paint Protection Film (PPF) and why it should be on your radar after bringing your new car home.
Unveiling the Wonders of Paint Protection Film (PPF) 🛡️
Before we explore the importance of PPF, let's gain a better understanding of what it entails. Paint Protection Film, also known as the "clear bra," is a thin, transparent layer of polyurethane meticulously applied to your vehicle's exterior surfaces. Its primary role is to safeguard your car's paint from a wide range of potential threats.
Protection Against Road Hazards ⚠️
No matter how cautious you are on the road, your new vehicle remains susceptible to various challenges. From road debris and insects to bird droppings, several hazards can jeopardize your car's finish. Thankfully, PPF acts as an invisible shield, quietly absorbing the impact of these dangers and preventing harm to your car's paint.
Preserving the Pristine Look 💎
Envision this scenario: with professional PPF installation, you can savor the coveted "just-off-the-lot" appearance for years to come. Our team of skilled experts excels in precise PPF installations, ensuring comprehensive coverage and enduring protection. Whether it's the unforgiving sun, harsh winter conditions, or the everyday rigors of driving, PPF sustains your vehicle's showroom-worthy aesthetics.
Smart Financial Sense 💰
Now, let's consider the financial wisdom of choosing PPF. While it may seem like an upfront cost, opting for PPF proves to be a wise decision in the long run. Without this protective film, your car's paint is vulnerable to wear and tear, potentially leading to expensive repairs or a complete repaint down the line. Paint Protection Film, acting as a barrier for your vehicle's exterior, can potentially save you a significant sum in future repair and repainting expenses.

Automotive Window Tint
Benefits beyond the shade
Tesla Model Y— tinted fronts
In this article, we'll explore the lesser-known benefits of vehicle window tinting, revealing how it can enhance your driving experience in unexpected ways. When you think about vehicle window tinting, you might picture darker windows that provide shade and privacy. However, the advantages of window tinting extend far beyond mere aesthetics.
“ Enhancing Comfort”
Reducing Heat and Glare 🌤️
Vehicle window tinting effectively reduces the amount of heat and glare that enters your car. On scorching summer days, this can make a significant difference in your comfort, ensuring a more pleasant driving environment.
Maintaining a Comfortable Driving Environment 🫂
By regulating the temperature inside your car, window tinting reduces the need for excessive air-conditioning. This not only saves from burning fuel energy consumption, but also keeps you and your passengers more comfortable throughout your journey.

“Protecting Your Skin”
UV Ray Protection and Its Effect on Skin Health 🌞🩻
Ceramic window tint acts as a barrier against harmful UV rays. Prolonged sun exposure while driving can lead to skin damage, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Window tinting helps protect your skin from these risks. We are not saying you will get skin cancer if you drive a car that’s not tinted, but just think about how a quality film can actually assist you as a shield while you drive. That is totally the idea here. It’s the fact that you don’t need to be receiving extra sunlight through clear glass when you can use a quality material and deflect what you can.

“Save $$$ over time”
Prolonging the Life of Upholstery + Dashboard 🪡
Window tinting can extend the life of your car's interior components. We already know the sun does damage, but if you keep it protected with a quality tint job you can slow the process of your interior parts breaking down.This not only maintains the vehicle's resale value but also saves you money on expensive interior repairs if you do plan to own your vehicle for awhile. By preventing interior damage, window tinting encourages substantial savings during costly repairs or replacements you may encounter over the lifespan of your vehicle.

“Increasing PEACE and Security”
Enhanced PRIVACY for Occupants 🔒
Window tinting provides a strengthened level of privacy for you and your passengers, enhancing your sense of security. Tint will act as a deterrent to potential thieves, making it more challenging for them to see valuable items inside your vehicle. In the event of an accident or collisions, window tinting can help hold shattered glass together, reducing the risk of injury from flying glass shards.
