Vehicle Description
The right mix of a terrific vintage appearance with subtle modern
upgrades makes this restored 1952 Chevrolet 3100 a stunner on the
streets and an easy cruiser from behind the wheel.
It will be hard to find a pickup that looks this nice and so
authentically vintage. The cream and dark tan is the perfect color
combo to instantly connect with 1950s nostalgia. But as you take a
closer look, the shine on the two-tone reveals a large investment
in modern paint and a professional hand applying it. It's all part
of a frame-off restoration that took place in 2011. And when the
paint looks this good, only the best brightwork will do on places
like the bumpers, wheel covers, and that iconic art deco grille.
The final step is investing in getting the details right. Elements
like the hood ornament and sun shade are premium pieces that a lot
of other vintage pickups miss during restoration. And with fresh
lumber laid down in the truck bed, this is the classic truck that
will always draw extra attention and live up to the extra
scrutiny.
Inside are more great upgrades without losing the vintage feeling.
For example, you still have the full bench seat, but now it's far
plusher, and it's covered in comfortable fabric to make this one
ready for the long haul. Plus, the padded headliner and carpeting
coordinate nicely while offering add cushioning and soundproofing.
The steering wheel adds an artful touch, and it gives you an
unobstructed view of the factory dash. There was special attention
paid here to give you updated features like Borg Warner gauges and
an AM/FM radio without ever spoiling the vintage atmosphere.
The upgraded theme continues when you look under the hood. The
3100-series trucks famously relied on the Chevy's trusty inline-six
motor, and that tradition continues here... but with some nice
additions. First off, this is a rebuilt 250 cubic-inch engine,
which is larger than anything that was offered in pickups for '52.
Also, you'll notice that this has some great upgrades like the
Offenhauser intake, Holley carburetor, and Clifford valve cover. It
gives this motor a fantastic presentation and an extra wallop of
power. When you're out on the road, this added power combines with
comfortable features like the TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission and front disc brakes to create a driving experience
better than any '50s machine.
Complete with build receipts, and less than 2,500-miles on the
whole restoration, you're looking at the perfect vintage setup for
showing off and enjoying the drive. Such a nice all-around classic
pickup is a package we're all looking for, so don't miss out. Call
