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.
The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
This custom Chevrolet 3100 Restomod pickup delivers an immediate visual impact with its show-quality blue and silver exterior contrasted by radiant chrome accents. Beneath its polished skin lies a 383 cubic inch motor complemented by premium aluminum and stainless components, giving the truck both presence and purpose. Pairing classic American style with an automatic transmission and modern creature comforts, this build blends vintage charm with contemporary flair, creating a standout truck that turns every drive into an occasion.
Pickup trucks have defined America for as long as they’ve been around, really. These workmanlike machines have been a much-needed lifeline for farmers, tradespersons and small business owners. Naturally, GM and Ford have been nuking it out since World War II ended. Today, we’ve got something from the Chevy corner, a 1958 Chevrolet 3100 Cameo Restomod that comes from the Task Force series. The Task Force is the one just before the popular C/K Series, that subsequently became the Silverado that we know today. This particular half-ton truck hails from Sebastopol, California and has got a host of updates. From its aftermarket wheels to its custom color illusion paint accents, not forgetting its 350ci LS1 V8, this is a classic-look truck that offers a lot of today’s convenience features. Plus, it’s got just 1,112 miles on it since its comprehensive makeover.
One of Chevy’s immediate post-war stalwarts, the Fleetline was a car that was aimed at getting Americans up and about in a post-war world of promise. It was offered in various forms including as a two-door coupe and four-door sedan. With its classic Forties lines, it’s a desirable classic today, but becoming increasingly hard to maintain in period form. That’s why it’s also an ideal restomod platform, as showcased by this California-based 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe Restomod. With its 350ci V8, air conditioning and automatic gearbox, this fine Fleetline could be yours if you wish.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Presenting a classic 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, a true iconic sports car that stands the test of time. With a striking red exterior and a complementary red interior, this vehicle is designed to turn heads. It boasts a distinctive design that reflects the era of American automotive excellence and craftsmanship. Featuring a mileage of under 100,000 miles, this Corvette continues to embody the spirit of freedom and performance that enthusiasts cherish. Perfect for collectors and driving aficionados alike, this Corvette is a testament to Chevrolet's commitment to producing extraordinary vehicles.
The OG Hummer, the AM General Humvee is the military variant on which the entire Hummer brand was created around, at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having encountered these vehicles in movies, it’s no surprise that The Terminator fell in love with them. Of course, at that time, the only way a civilian could expose themselves to a Humvee in the capacity of driving it was to likely join the military. Now, you can find plenty of old, ex-service Humvees entering civilian life after they retire from active duty. This 1987 AM General Humvee M998 is one such candidate, and it’s got just 37,300 miles to its name. But that’s not important, what matters is how it’s been tastefully customized. You’ve got a Tropical Blue repaint, a custom navy and white Sunbrella top, a diesel V8 under the hood, and so much more to appreciate. Hard to imagine, isn’t it, that this was once a military troop transport!

Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.
