GMC Sprint 1977

 
GMC Sprint model 1977
A coupe utility - pickup
 
 
The GMC Sprint was made from 1971 to 1977 as the GMC cousin of the Chevrolet El Camino.  After 1977, it was re-badged as a Caballero; that was produced until 1987.  Both were co-models of the Ford Ranchero utility coupe pickup.

This 1977 two tone model, with added custom wheels, is presented as a relaxed view 3d stereograph.

Note - this may be a 1976, as that was that year that stacked rectangular headlights were first used.

Although it looks big in the photo, this summer azure (Celastrina neglecta) butterfly is very small; it has a wingspan of about one inch.
