Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
Compared to the previous Task Force pickups, the 1959 Apache featured a different front end, with large quad headlamps up front, an embellished hood that housed the Chevrolet bow tie logo, and a wider full-length grille that incorporates the “Chevrolet” text. Our featured car is finished in an attractive shade of turquoise, with the owner reporting that the truck was repainted a few years ago. It sits on upgraded split-rim-styled 16-inch alloy wheels in silver, along with Goodyear Assurance all-season tires. Pictured are what appear to be the truck’s original body tags. At the same time, you’ll also find plenty of the model’s original chrome fittings, as well as an impressive load tray that includes a bed floor that features wooden planks and body-colored metal strips. Move inside, and you’ll find a wonderfully “back to basics” interior. The Apache doesn’t feature AC, power steering, or power brakes. However, what it lacks in features, it makes up for in charm. The interior has been redone and features a grey-and-white color scheme for the bench seat. You get the truck’s original large-diameter metal steering wheel. However, the owner reports that an extra smaller-diameter wheel will also be included in the sale. The controls are straightforward, with a “three on the tree” column-shift manual transmission and a large V-shaped 100-mph speedometer set in front of the driver. The truck's cabin also features an AM/FM radio.
Under the hood of the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup lies a 235ci I6 with a single carburetor. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission famously named the '3-On-The-Tree'.

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.

The 1969 Ford Torino Cobra stands as one of Ford’s most purpose-built muscle cars, developed with a clear focus on high-speed performance and NASCAR homologation rather than pure styling flair. This example is a genuine factory Cobra, confirmed by VIN and data plate, and powered by Ford’s legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8. Finished in Presidential Blue over a black interior, the car presents an authentic, no-nonsense performance specification that reflects Ford’s competition-driven mindset at the end of the 1960s. Importantly, this Torino is accompanied by a Marti Report, providing documented verification of its factory configuration, drivetrain, and special performance designation.

Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina.
