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.
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.
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 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.
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.
The Chevy El Camino showed the world in 1959 that a pickup truck didn’t have to be a body-on-frame machine with stodgy styling and uncomfortable riding dynamics. Instead, Chevy created a segment called the Coupe Utility, which was basically a seamless integration of cab, chassis and cargo area into one element. This led to a sportier, lower-riding and more comfortable vehicle that could still carry a decent payload in its cargo bed. After all, many buyers of such vehicles didn’t need heavy load-carrying per se, rather they wanted space. The El Camino also gained a reputation in the muscle car class, since it was available with some truly awesome V8s under the hood. Here, we have a 1960 Chevrolet El Camino that’s received a 383 Stroker under the hood, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and a B&M shifter. With just 23,000 miles on its belt, this machine of multiple personas awaits its new owner in Dana Point, California.
The Chevrolet SSR LS is a uniquely American performance pickup that blends retro-inspired styling with modern V8 power and convertible flair. Designed as a lifestyle vehicle rather than a traditional work truck, the SSR combines a retractable hardtop roof with a short-bed pickup configuration, offering open-air driving alongside utility-focused features. This LS-trim example emphasizes comfort, usability, and factory-installed accessories while retaining the bold character that made the SSR stand out in Chevrolet’s early-2000s lineup.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!

The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
