Vehicle Description
For lovers of true classic motoring, this restored 1953 Chevrolet
3100 really hits all the right marks. So pay attention to the
details, because a classic of this caliber commands extra
notice.
We all love Chevy's Advance Design pickups, and this one really
shows us why. It was given a complete restoration about a decade
ago and treated with respect ever since. So the tall five-bar
grille still shines like a mirror, and so do the bumpers. The green
paint represents a correct Juniper Green and has a terrific shine
of nostalgia. The restoration also added the right period-correct
elegance, like the fresh lumber in the truck bed, windshield sun
visor, Chevrolet step plates, and side-mounted spare. And speaking
of the wheels, proper two-piece units with whitewalls are exactly
what you want. Also, have you noticed how the yellow pinstripe
running around the cab also matches the one on the wheels? Oh yes,
they really paid attention to detail here.
Inside this looks quite correct, but you also might spot some nice
subtle upgrades. For example, you got a bench seat in 1953, but it
was never covered in comfortable velour or offered seatbelts. The
door panels match this upgrade nicely. The AM radio and heater have
that ideal vintage feeling. And when you grab the grooved
three-spoke steering wheel, you'll be instantly transported to a
simpler time.
Under the hood, the 216 cubic-inch straight-six motor looks honest
and complete - right down to the oil bath air cleaner. But take a
moment to dig deeper and see the right upgrades. The alternator,
starter, wiring, and much more are part of a useful package. And
the way this motor fires right up confirms this is a fine driving
classic. The engine still produces the kind of torque that made
these an industrial legend, and the three-on-the-tree manual
transmission is always great for flexibility. Overall, going for a
drive in this pickup is a fun experience thanks to the great rumble
from a rhythmic motor that doesn't know how to quit.
This Chevy is pure excitement to those who love to drive their
history with pride. And for the right person, every day can feel
like a Sunday jaunt. Call today!!!
