Chevy’s Advance Design series of pickup trucks entered the market in 1947, taking over from the venerable AK Series, which had served during World War II. The Advance Design was a major redesign exercise, and nearly everything about these trucks was new; after all, America had emerged from the War, and a new era of enterprise and promise had begun. The Advance Design would thus form the basis of commercial transportation for many small and medium-sized businesses. The Advance Design came in ½, ¾ and 1-tonne capacities, as well as Loadmaster and Thriftmaster configurations. This particular 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod started life as a half-ton truck, and it still remains a half-ton truck. Well, except that it’s received a thorough makeover inside and out, making it something truly distinctive to own and drive.
This 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod introduces itself with a clean white suit and plenty of chrome, as was in vogue during the truck’s heyday. It’s got original-style badging and lights too. But hang on, something’s different. Ah, yes, the truck has been lowered! It sure does cut a fine dash on the road, aided by its black five-spoke alloy wheels, which are shod with low-profile tires. The tailgate features the iconic CHEVROLET script stenciled into the metal, and if you take a peek at the cargo bed, you will see that it’s a finely-finished wood-floored affair. It’s almost too good to use for rough-and-tumble work. The interior of this 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod has undergone a host of enhancements. The old bench seat is gone, replaced by two electrically adjustable seats in black and brown leather. Then, there’s a retro-modern style three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel with the Chevy bowtie on the center cap. Ahead of this lies a cluster of Classic Instruments white-faced dials. Infotainment has taken a boost, too, with a Sony single-DIN head unit in place, supporting CD playback, USB, and AUX inputs, as well as SiriusXM. There are upgraded speakers as well as air conditioning to keep you comfortable during the hotter periods of the year. This is starting to shape up like a potential daily runner!
Continuing the potential daily runner theme, this 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod benefits from a relatively modern V8 under the hood, powering the rear wheels via an automatic gearbox. There’s also a new dual exhaust system for better performance and that iconic V8 rumble.

Few classic trucks excite restomod builders like the Chevrolet 3100. Its major post-WWII redesign, durability, and Art Deco styling have made it one of the most sought-after foundations in the restomod world. For the 1951 model year, a quirky "5-window" cab option was offered, which featured corner windows on the back of the cab. The example we are featuring here is also a "5-window" 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod. With only 2486 miles on its odometer, this stunner is in Santa Ana, California. If you love making an entrance and packing the performance to back up the gusto, this 3100 will be an excellent choice.
Chevy has been making trucks for nearly a century. Today’s 1946 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup hails from the AK Series that ran between 1941 and 1947. The 3100 model denoted the ½-ton variant in the range. Buyers could select from a pickup truck, a panel truck, a station wagon, a cab-over or a coupe utility. This particular example is up for grabs in Stringer, Massachusetts with under 50,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a 216.5ci Thriftmaster in-line six under the hood, a custom paint job, a period-correct 6-volt electrical system, and more. So, if you want a vintage truck that’s not too heavily modified but will catch eyes all the same, this is a great choice to check out.
This 1942 Chevrolet 3100 pickup presents a classic pre-war truck aesthetic paired with thoughtful mechanical updates for improved drivability. Finished in an attractive two-tone cream and brown exterior, this truck blends vintage character with modern usability, making it suitable for casual cruising, local shows, or weekend use. While retaining its traditional proportions and styling, this example has been upgraded beneath the surface to better accommodate contemporary driving conditions.
This 1973 Chevrolet C20 Cheyenne pickup blends classic square-body truck styling with the unmistakable power of a big-block V8. Showing 34,983 miles, this example presents as a well-preserved driver with tasteful performance upgrades. Finished in black with a two-tone interior, the truck carries the desirable Cheyenne trim and the robust 3/4-ton C20 platform. Equipped with a 454 cubic-inch V8 and upgraded induction components, it offers the rugged capability and unmistakable presence that made Chevrolet’s early square-body trucks some of the most respected pickups of their era.
This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?
Eight generations of Corvette are available right now, and we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted examples from all eight of them. Today’s 2010 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Convertible comes from the sixth generation, called the C6. It’s a fine, V8-powered drop-top from Cabot, Arkansas and comes with just 8,795 miles on the clock. Plus, it’s got the owners manual included with the sale, as well as both keys. Oh, and did we say it’s rear wheel drive and packing a stick shift? Yup, this might as well be driving nirvana, wrapped up in a white package and containing red leather on the inside.
This 1973 Chevrolet C20 Cheyenne pickup blends classic square-body truck styling with the unmistakable power of a big-block V8.

Finished in black with a two-tone interior, the truck carries the desirable Cheyenne trim and the robust 3/4-ton C20 platform.

Are you tired of today’s so-called SUVs that look macho but can’t handle anything more than a raised curb? If so, you need this 1969 Ford Bronco in your life. With just 40,000 miles on the clock, this first-generation Bronco has a 302 under the hood, and four-wheel drive to paw the ground with. It’s available in Albany and looks simply stunning. And wait till you hear about the surprises beneath the skin! Some hints, it’s got a more modern engine to propel it with gusto, a proper heating and ventilation system, plus some neat interior upgrades.
Ford’s famous Bronco came in 1966, and represented another Greatest Hit for the Blue Oval. Following hot on the heels of the Mustang, the Bronco redefined off-roaders, turning them into what we know as Sport Utility Vehicles today. That is to say, they still had off-road abilities, but weren’t as bone-jarring or devoid of fancy features as traditionally built. Now, the Bronco is in its sixth generation and has grown into a five-door family SUV as well as the typical three-door style that it carried for the first five generations. Today’s 1972 Ford Bronco Restomod is a fine first-generation example, three-door body and all, but it’s a bit different from a stock first-gen Bronco. You see, there’s a modern Coyote V8 under the hood, some nice creature comforts and upgrades here and there. All that could be yours, with just 1,100 miles on the odometer after all the extensive work done. The vehicle is currently resting in Vegas if you’re interested in making it yours.
