Chevy’s Advance Design series was the pickup truck to buy from 1947 to 1955. America was gearing up for a post-war boom, and small businesses came to the fore. Countless farmers, traders and blue-collar workers could rely on a Chevy Advance Design truck, the predecessor of the popular C/K Series, and now, Silverado. Today’s 1955 Chevrolet 3100 is a half-ton variant from Dallas, Georgia. So if you want a classic truck that can turn heads as well as cut it on the highway, here’s your ideal candidate.
This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 is largely preserved in stock form, but wears a very prominent red paint job that makes it look kind of like a fire engine if you wish. Then, we’ve got a set of shiny silver alloy wheels in turbine style, with Grand Am Radial G/T tires. The truck’s lights and chrome details remain stock as well. However, popping the tailgate reveals a pristine wood-floored cargo bed that’s definitely meant more for show or clean cargo than a couple of cement bags or a load of two-by-four. A cutout in the cargo bed floor reveals the fuel filler cap and neck. Yes, this truck’s working days are far behind it; now it’s time for a pampered life of retirement. The interior of this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 sees two individual black leather seats, and a dashboard painted in the same color as the body. Most of the period fittings remain, including the heating and ventilation slider controls. The only additions we see are an aftermarket rev counter, a Hurst gear shift knob and an aftermarket steering wheel of a sporty design.
This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 has got a Chevy 350ci V8 under the hood, which is larger and more potent than any of the stock offerings when the truck was brand new. Power goes to the rear axle via a 4-speed manual transmission. Yes, you row your own gears in this classic truck, which only bolsters its classic vibe. Forget today’s point and shoot EVs or digitally drenched hybrids; this is pure and chaste motoring at its best.
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.
Pickup trucks have defined America for as long as they’ve been around, really. These workmanlike machines have been a much-needed lifeline for farmers, tradespersons and small business owners. Naturally, GM and Ford have been nuking it out since World War II ended. Today, we’ve got something from the Chevy corner, a 1958 Chevrolet 3100 Cameo Restomod that comes from the Task Force series. The Task Force is the one just before the popular C/K Series, that subsequently became the Silverado that we know today. This particular half-ton truck hails from Sebastopol, California and has got a host of updates. From its aftermarket wheels to its custom color illusion paint accents, not forgetting its 350ci LS1 V8, this is a classic-look truck that offers a lot of today’s convenience features. Plus, it’s got just 1,112 miles on it since its comprehensive makeover.
The Chevy Nova or Chevy II was made between 1961 and 1979, as a compact car for the North American market. Yes, in a world of muscle cars, pony cars and luxurious land yachts, the compact car was still carving out a name for itself. After all, not every family wanted or could afford the flashier, larger, sportier offerings. So, cars like the Nova offered mobility to countless individuals and families who would otherwise have to take the bus! That means a Nova as a classic car is a worthy choice to make. Today, we have a 1970 Chevrolet Nova for sale from Nevada with a 350ci under the hood, a TH400 to drive the wheels, a reupholstered interior and some nice customizations. You should seriously consider it if you’re in the market for a drivable classic.
The drag strip is where battles are settled, it's where man and machine are hyper-focused on closing down a quarter mile in the quickest time possible. Choosing your weapon to power down a dead straight is open to interpretation; sure, you could power down in a full-electric motor with the air conditioning on, but where is the fun in that? Present today is a machine that can power down a drag strip with style and raised eyebrows, and takes shape with this 1969 Chevrolet Nova. With a reported 72,411 miles on its clock, this unique build is your weekend plans on full throttle and wide smiles every time you're behind the wheel.
One of Chevy’s immediate post-war stalwarts, the Fleetline was a car that was aimed at getting Americans up and about in a post-war world of promise. It was offered in various forms including as a two-door coupe and four-door sedan. With its classic Forties lines, it’s a desirable classic today, but becoming increasingly hard to maintain in period form. That’s why it’s also an ideal restomod platform, as showcased by this California-based 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe Restomod. With its 350ci V8, air conditioning and automatic gearbox, this fine Fleetline could be yours if you wish.
The OG Hummer, the AM General Humvee is the military variant on which the entire Hummer brand was created around, at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having encountered these vehicles in movies, it’s no surprise that The Terminator fell in love with them. Of course, at that time, the only way a civilian could expose themselves to a Humvee in the capacity of driving it was to likely join the military. Now, you can find plenty of old, ex-service Humvees entering civilian life after they retire from active duty. This 1987 AM General Humvee M998 is one such candidate, and it’s got just 37,300 miles to its name. But that’s not important, what matters is how it’s been tastefully customized. You’ve got a Tropical Blue repaint, a custom navy and white Sunbrella top, a diesel V8 under the hood, and so much more to appreciate. Hard to imagine, isn’t it, that this was once a military troop transport!
Today, RAM is a stand-alone brand of pickup trucks and well-known for its versatile array of tough, capable and yes, luxurious offerings in the full-size, medium-duty and heavy-duty segments. But before 2010, RAM was merely a model under the Dodge hierarchy, and the trucks were known as the Dodge Ram. That’s what we have here, a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 LT for sale from Baytown, Texas. This is a second-generation Dodge RAM and it’s done 154,788 miles so far. With its Cummins turbodiesel six, manual gearbox and replaced interior, it’s the ideal truck for someone looking for a decent workhorse, as well as a person who wants something a little different from the Nineties.
