1953 Chevy 3100

The 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck is a celebrated model from Chevy’s Advance Design series, produced from 1947 to 1955, which marked GM’s first major redesign after World War II. This truck features the iconic five-bar horizontal chrome grille, rounded fenders, and distinctive split windshield, giving it a classic, robust appearance. Under the hood, it typically came equipped with a reliable 216 or 235 cubic inch inline-six engine paired with a manual transmission. The 1953 model year is particularly notable for being the last to feature the "split" windshield before it was replaced by a one-piece design in 1954, enhancing its collectability. This specific example, restored with meticulous attention to original detail—including wide whitewall tires, side-mounted mirrors, and a wood bed—is a rare and highly sought-after gem among vintage truck enthusiasts due to its historical significance, timeless design, and enduring craftsmanship.
