The Chevy Advance Design series of pickup trucks was introduced in 1947, as the first major redesign of Chevy’s truck range since World War II ended. Buyers were looking for something dependable and capable now that the War was ended and the era of promise was starting. For countless farmers, traders, and blue-collar workers, a Chevy pickup truck was definitely on their radar. So, the Advance Design featured a full redesign and was available in regular, as well as cabover body styles. This particular 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup is of the regular style, and being a 3100, was rated as a ½-ton truck in its heyday. Now, the truck is up for sale in Altavista, Virginia, after undergoing some refreshment work. So if you’re a fan of American classics, why not select a truck like this one instead of going with the rest and opting for a car?
