Chevrolet's Advance Design series was the Bowtie's signature pickup truck offering between 1947 and 1955. Sporting several stylistic and mechanical enhancements over the previous era, the Advance Design series would go on to sell in spades. Up for grabs today is an excellent 1954 Chevrolet 3100 that's reportedly nearly all-original but packs a few useful upgrades to make it more repairable and serviceable in the modern era that we live in. We're also told that the truck has just under 100,000 miles on it.
Exterior and Interior
This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 portrays a rather sunny persona, thanks to its two-tone blue and black color theme. Its bulbous design embodies what the late Forties and Early Fifties were like in terms of American automobiles, and we're told that the truck has been repainted. We're also told that it reportedly sports its original wheels as well as a wood-trimmed cargo bed. Take a closer look, and indeed, you'll see some patina, especially on the chrome bits. However, such symbols of age only make this 1954 Chevrolet 3100 even more desirable, as it's clearly a survivor rather than a garage queen. Inside the five-windowed cabin, there's a dark blue bench seat and a period dash with the requisite chrome embellishing as befits the Fifties. Take a few moments to appreciate the long gear lever, skinny-rimmed steering wheel, and plushly padded door cards. Yes, the mirrors and windows are manually operated, and there's no climate control, but what this truck offers is loads of character. In fact, the only modern interior facet is reported to be an aftermarket sound system, and since we don't see a gargantuan touchscreen anywhere, it's safe to assume that the upgrade is as unobtrusive as possible.
Engine
This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 has its original 235ci six-cylinder engine that's reportedly had its upper part redone. The drive is sent to the rear wheels via a manual transmission that's reportedly been re-geared to enable highway cruising. We must also tell you that the electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volts, from the original six volts that these trucks came with. No doubt, this will help nearly all the vehicle's critical systems, from the starter motor to the headlamps.
This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod blends the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s Advance-Design pickup with a thoroughly reworked performance-oriented drivetrain and chassis. Finished in Forest Green Metallic over a Black interior, this build is powered by a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 topped with dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors and backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. Supporting upgrades include 4-wheel disc brakes, a power brake booster, an aftermarket suspension setup, custom wheels, and a wood bed floor with polished metal strips. Inside, the truck mixes vintage simplicity with custom touches such as an aftermarket gauge cluster, dash-mounted display screen, and 3-spoke steering wheel. Showing approximately 754 miles, this 3100 presents as a fresh-feeling restomod with classic truck styling and modernized mechanical hardware.
This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod Pickup takes the unmistakable Advance-Design shape and gives it the kind of mechanical upgrades that make a classic truck far easier to enjoy today. Showing approximately 3,055 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 with electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in red over a custom black interior with red contrast stitching, it combines a lowered stance, aftermarket wheels, modern cooling, air conditioning, and updated instrumentation with the 3100’s signature rounded-fender styling. The result is a classic Chevrolet pickup with a strong street-rod personality and a much more usable drivetrain than stock.
This 1956 Chevrolet 3100 Stepside Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s Task Force-era pickup and pairs it with a thoroughly modernized performance package. Showing approximately 28,601 miles, this build is powered by a supercharged 5.0L Coyote V8 with electronic fuel injection and a Roush supercharger, sending power to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. Finished in black over a beige interior, it also benefits from a reupholstered cabin, aftermarket digital gauges, a Pioneer audio head unit, custom wood bed flooring, and aftermarket wheels. It is a strong blend of vintage truck styling and contemporary performance hardware.
This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.
This 1966 Chevrolet C10 combines the clean, squared-off look of Chevrolet’s first-generation C/K pickups with a straightforward small-block V8 restomod treatment. Showing approximately 70,291 miles, it is finished in a striking Orange and Gray two-tone exterior over a Black interior. Under the hood sits a 350ci V8 equipped with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake manifold, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Aftermarket headers, wheels, steering wheel, gauges, and audio equipment add to the truck’s customized character, while the wood bed floor with metal strips keeps a classic pickup-truck element intact.
This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an excellent example of one of the most important American performance cars of its era. The first-year ZR-1 paired the C4 Corvette’s unmistakable shape with the sophisticated 5.7-liter LT5 DOHC 32-valve V8, a ZF 6-speed manual transmission, and unique wide-body hardware developed to handle its increased performance. Finished in Black over a Black leather interior, this example retains hallmark ZR-1 equipment including the dual-mode engine power system with its Full-Power key, Selective Ride Control, staggered 17-inch directional aluminum wheels, and removable targa roof panel. This a particularly compelling example for the collector or enthusiast seeking a first-year ZR-1 with limited indicated use.
