Did Choo Choo SS El Caminos ever come with the Choo Choo Customs script logos like this one? If so, which years?
I see some Choo Choo's with them and some without.
Trying to decide if I want them on my '83

Of course I can and I will.
I'm more asking because I'd like to know and thought someone here might know the answer. Plus, the answer could influence my decision.

Just found the answer:
'87 only.

I think it might add a nice touch on mine. Btw, mine is an original '83 Choo Choo but I've I have already made a few other changes to what my car came with so I'm not keeping it totally original anyway.
The '83 Choo Choo was the only year that didn't have the fake hood scoop. I liked the way it looks so I bought one and put it on.

So I actually live in Chattanooga and own an El Caballero. Anything in town worth checking out? Any vintage Choo Choo stuff around here??

There is a member on elcaminocentral.com who keeps a list/database of all things ChooChoo El Camino. If you haven't tried looking there, I would hop on over there for specific info. I have never heard him reference any other site for info on the ChooChoo elkies.

To add to the ChooChoo topic, every now and then I check their site for the latest price of the SS nose. I'm going to get one eventually. They don't advertise it anymore. I texted back and forth with them this week and it's pretty much become a special order item. Hell 8 months ago they told me they weren'tmaking them fast enough.

I wouldn't hold off buying the nose for your car if you really want one, since a bunch of people did that with the Lauren Engineering stuff only to find everything was discontinued.

I am not a big fan of emblems or stickers and feel with the addition of the choo choo sticker it just makes it look "cluttered" IMO
