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?

The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.
