Post World War II, America and the rest of the world were gearing up for a booming economy. Automakers were excited; the powers at the helm had pledged no more war, and things looked bright. Chevrolet released their aptly-named Advance Design series of light and medium-duty trucks in 1947. The Chevrolet 3100 marked the entry point as a half-ton truck, and it was greatly received by an eager public. As time passed, some examples fell to ruin, some were lovingly maintained and restored, and others became platforms for great restomods. This 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod comes from that third category, and you won't believe what it's packing under the hood until you see and experience it for yourself.
On the outside, this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod doesn't deviate too much from its late-Forties design, save for an eye-catching bright red paintwork. It still retains its chrome bumpers, period headlamps, the requisite badging, and a chrome grille. It's a similar story at the rear, where the taillamps haven't been chucked out in favor of more modern LED units. The cargo bed is all wooden for that old-school feel. However, the truck as a whole sits lower than it would have, and you'll also notice newer aluminum alloy wheels are present. The rear wheels, in particular, are much meatier than would have come in 1950. These are the first hints that something is stirring underneath the hood. Entering the cabin of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod will grant you more clues to its restomod status. Instead of the period bench seat, you'll find two Ford Ranger seats to sit upon. The current owner reports that the red and black interior was completely redone, and we can also find some new white-faced gauges ahead of the driver. The steering wheel and steering column also appear to be from a more contemporary Chevy.
Now, let's meet the beast under the hood of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod. The 350ci V8 residing within is said to have been built by Legget and GT Racing, and reportedly kicks out 800hp. A 400 Turbo automatic transmission sends it to the rear wheels, while control is enhanced by power steering and power brakes.
An early ancestor of today’s Chevy Silverado pickup truck, this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 hails from the Chevrolet Advance Design series. Introduced in 1947, Chevy was geared to mobilize the masses after World War II had ended and entrepreneurship was recovering. Countless farmers, tradespersons and small businesses would rely on these trucks, after all. The range started with the 3100 half-ton variant, and went up to the 3800 one-ton variant. Today’s truck has received quite a few replacement parts and enhancements, making it something of a restomod. With just 3,500 miles on its crate V8 engine, this truck resides in Silverton, Oregon, and could be yours for the taking.
American trucks of the ’50s were true workhorses; they helped shape and move a nation and captured the hearts of many. Fast forward to today, and the love for American trucks has now been transformed from one of practical value to aesthetic value. The transformation means a massive shift in how classic American trucks look and perform; take this 1956 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window we have, for instance. This classic American truck features the perfect balance of old-school charm and new-age performance and looks.
Pickup trucks have grown in popularity over the years, but they’ve always managed to form the backbone of America.

Our featured car is reported as a full restoration, and from the images we present here, you can see why. Finished in a stunning shade of blue, this 1957 Chevrolet 3100 features some immaculately restored details, including completely redone chrome and a rebuilt V8 engine and transmission.

Today, what we know as the Chevrolet Silverado line-up of sturdy full-size pickup trucks can be traced way back to 1960 and Chevy’s C/K Series. Actually, if you really want, you can go back even further, but the proper ancestor is the first-generation C/K. That’s precisely where this 1966 Chevrolet C10 Stepside hails from. These trucks were built in the United States, as well as several other countries including Argentina and Canada. This particular truck is currently stabled in Nevada with just over 44,000 miles to its name. Hence, it’s a great way to dip your feet into the classic car waters, with a machine that’s not just stylish and representative of the Sixties, but something that mobilized countless Americans and helped them reach their goals. We see that two keys plus a brochure are included with the sale of this truck.
Classic car styling blended with modern day aesthetics makes for a machine that takes a lot of your time as you stand back and look at it with awe. The perfect blend is a topic that sees a lot of discussion but the general priority would be to balance out modern day looks while not taking the character of a classic car away. Present today is rare occasion when the perfect blend takes shape and looks like this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.
The Corvette C3 is one of the most attractive cars in the model's eight-generation history. No wonder that so many astronauts were willing to be seen in one of these. During the third generation of the Corvette, they introduced an edition for those who understand that performance is more than just speed; it's about presence, precision, and power. This is none other than the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition. Corvette likes to describe it as “limited production with unlimited passion.” The example we are showing here bears 18,800 miles on its odometer and is currently located in Laurel, Maryland.

The Chevrolet C/K line-up of pickup trucks is the forerunner to the Silverado of today that we know and love. Introduced in 1960 and produced across four generations, today’s 1990 Chevrolet C1500 454 SS comes from the fourth generation and is something of a performance hero. You see, this black truck from Los Angeles, California enjoys a host of modifications and enhancements that make it a true street hero. Packing a healthy 76,000 miles to its name, this truck is ready to keep on trucking, in true Chevy style. Pick it up and you won’t regret it – in fact, you’ll enjoy every single minute of being in its driver’s seat.
Behold, the world’s first-ever mass-production civilian four-wheel drive car: the Willys Jeep. Derived from the military vehicle that served extensively in World War II, the Willys CJ “Civilian Jeep” was a modified, road-legal version of the battlefield hero. Aimed at the farming and industrial community, many mechanical modifications over the military version were with the goal of making it more durable and reliable. As the war was winding up, Jeep started working on the CJ, with 2 main prototype models being tested (CJ-1 and CJ-2). The CJ-2A was the first production model, which arrived in mid-1945, initially used up the last of the war-time parts stock. Once this was over, many parts such as the rear axle were changed (in this case to a stronger option). In total, over 214,000 CJ-2As were built between 1945 and 1949.
