Vehicle Description
This 1957 Chevrolet Cameo is a rare and stylish pickup. And while
we love the history, this one was fully restored to give you more
power, a more vibrant look, an overdrive transmission, and a comfy
A/C interior. It makes for the classic stunner that's easier to
show off everywhere.
Today we all want a premium pickup, but this market was only just
emerging in the 1950s. Chevrolet recognized this with the few years
the Cameo Carrier was available. The flush-fitting bed and revised
tailgate was created by utilizing the fiberglass knowledge from the
Corvette line. It had full sweeping trim with an integrated hint of
two-tone color, and there's a tailfin design to make this as
attractive the '57 Bel Air. We're particularly fond of the paint on
this one. 1957 was the first year that the Cameo was officially
offered in a color besides white. So the restoration took full
advantage of this history, and gave it a vibrant blue with a nice
hint of metallic. So you have a sleek shine that really loves to
show off this Chevy's curves. Plus, there was a huge investment in
the mirror-like chrome on the bumpers, trim, and distinct grille.
It's the kind of radiant total package that you just know will look
terrific at the Sunday car show. Even the custom details are
well-integrated, like the one-piece side glass and classic torque
thrust wheels with blue Chevy centercaps. And there's a
flush-fitting tonneau that protects the great-looking lumber in the
truck bed. This pickup is such a star it was even used for
Powerblock TV!
This truck was restored less than 4,300 miles ago, and the
freshness on the interior is quite a nice reminder. Cameos were
built to be more comfortable pickups, and so this one brings that
idea into modern times. The custom seat is a nice mix of tasteful
tan and comfortable tweed. And this is repeated on the doors panels
and headliner. There are well-integrated comforts, like an AM/FM/CD
stereo w/aux input, cup holder center console, and cold-blowing air
conditioning. You get a great-looking sports steering wheel on a
tilt column, and it gives you a clear view to the upgraded full
gauge panel that fits in the classic housing.
The show-ready style of this truck continues under the hood.
There's plenty of shine coming off the valve covers, intake,
alternator, aluminum radiator, and more. And the metallic blue air
grabber is a particularly nice touch. When you look beyond the
style, you'll see the substance of a hardy 350 cubic-inch small
block. It's been upgraded for power with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and headers feeding the Flowmaster
dual exhaust. As you look at the full undercarriage photos, you see
more of the freshness that reminds you of how few miles are on the
built. It also gives you added confidence on the road. And with
power steering and power brakes w/front discs, this truck was made
to be driven. You even have an upgraded four-speed automatic
transmission w/overdrive.
Chevrolet only made 2,244 Cameo Carriers in 1957, and that means
they made nearly three times more Corvettes that year! So you are
look at something that's both rare and stunning, and it has been
expertly restored to show it off everywhere. Don't miss this
special Chevy, call today!
