VLVL2 (9.5): "Mi Vida Loca"

[Dave Monroe]

   "Waiting for them this morning were towaway
teammates Vato and Blood, whom they'd met in the
parking lot of the Woodbine Motel, late at night,
thundering along in low in a Custom Deluxe named Mi
Vida Loca, searching for likely units." (VL, Ch. 9, p.
177)

"Custom Deluxe"

Although Chevrolet had produced a pickup truck since
1918, the use of the C/K nomenclature as the truck's
name didn't begin until 1962....  Trim levels
consisted simply of base and Custom. The Custom added
an aluminum bodyside molding and cloth (versus vinyl)
seating....

[...]

A new egg-crate grill graced the front of the 1971
pickups. New trim level names debuted, including the
base Custom, the mid-level Custom Deluxe (formerly the
Custom) and the Cheyenne (formerly the Custom Sport
Truck).

[...]

1975 models were distinguished by a grill with larger
internal rectangles along with a restyled tailgate.
Trim levels were changed and now consisted of base
Custom Deluxe (why a base version was called Deluxe is
a mystery), Scottsdale (with cloth seats and chrome
exterior trim), Cheyenne (with added insulation and
exterior brightwork) and Silverado (with woodgrain
interior accents, carpeting and additional exterior
accents including wheel-lip moldings)....
