Vehicle Description
This 1952 Chevrolet 3100 pickup has all the right looks for a cool
vintage truck. The Advanced Design style has matured into
old-school tough Americana attitude, and oh yes, this one has the
ultra-desirable five-window style. Now you have to decide, will it
be the coolest workhorse cruiser around or a candidate for a V8
upgrade in the hot vintage truck market? With this exceptional
condition and affordable price, anything is possible.
This Chevy provides a real lesson in honesty. Over the years,
plenty of classic trucks have been filled with more features than
the factory ever intended. Instead, this one has just gone through
good maintenance and era-correct refreshes as it passes into its
seventh decade. The body is nice and straight, and the wood in the
truck bed has been replaced to erase decades of any tough loads.
There's even paint on the lumber, so you can still use this for
handy tasks. The windows are clear and clean, including the
optional rear quarter glass that makes this the desirable
five-window pickup. The dark green is the result of at least one
modern respray. It's a timeless color now featuring a deeper shine
that looks nice when you take it out on a sunny weekend. Plus,
there are hints of well-earned distinction with the correct-style
vintage wheel covers and the tall five-slat grille finished in a
distinguished black and white. It's the kind of appearance that
comes with real credibility. You could even buy this pickup today
and put your company's name on the side. It will instantly make
your business look like it has decades of sturdy history, even if
you just opened your door yesterday.
The interior is still working-class all the way, and that's all
part of the vintage truck appeal. The gray looks utilitarian and
tough, and you can see that there have been investments in
period-correct details, like knobs, handles, and glovebox door.
Even the gauge package looks newer. You have the standard-style
bench seat that now features seatbelts. The big three-spoke
steering wheel and airy cab make this feel like a time machine back
to when the heater was a true luxury on your way home from a day
out in the fields.
Under the hood this truck continues its theme of honest
showmanship. Chevrolet's Blue Flame six looks terrific with the
long blue block and silver head cover radiating from within the
dark engine bay. This is a 235 cubic-inch motor that was a later
edition, but it's a true 1950s block in the correct displacement.
The consignor has even done a good refreshing it within the last
few years, including a recent tune-up. That means this is the kind
of classic tough truck engine that has some serious workman torque,
and it's as smooth as a sewing machine. It has a fantastic old
exhaust note that chugs along like a freight train. For that added
touch of period-correct fun, the motor is mated to a three-speed
column shift manual transmission.
Complete with build receipts, five-window Chevys are always
in-demand. So one that has this much classic distinction is truly a
hot deal. Call now!
