Vehicle Description
This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 is one of the coolest ways to represent
the final evolution of the legendary Advanced Design pickups. After
all, it has an unmistakable vintage style inside and out. But with
upgrades like a five-speed, modern wheels/tires, four-wheel disc
brakes, and more, it's also built to be a fantastic classic
cruiser.
The 1954 pickup got a new front end that lasted for less than two
years. It gives the Advanced Design's last couple of years a true
distinction. So this one love to showcase it with a cool gunmetal
gray finish that really lets it stand out. And the bumpers were
done to match for a distinct but coordinated appearance. Adding to
this truck's unique flair is also an upgraded set of 17-inch
polished Ridler wheels. But even with the upgraded nature, you can
also tell this is a true classic. The beige paint has an absolutely
old-style pickup finish that gives it the right hint of workman
attitude. And this theme of ruggedness and vintage come together
nicely in the truck bed with line paint on the wall and real lumber
on the floor.
The interior looks almost like a time machine. The classic bench,
door panel inserts, and headliner have been done in a classic brown
that looks good against the exterior-matching beige. The tall
gearstick, vintage gauges, and large/grippy steering wheel all have
that ideal 1950s pickup feel. In fact, only the most observant
would notice that the carpeting is a nice upgrade in comfort, and
so even that never takes away from a true old-time atmosphere.
When you open the hood, the bold blue block lets you immediately
recognize the desirable and hardy Chevy inline-six. This 235
cubic-inch motor is an era-correct powerhouse, but keen eyes will
notice the right upgrades. This includes a 12-volt system and an
alternator. It makes for a stronger package that fires up eagerly
and loves to run. You have the classic pickup suspension to give
you the right hint of vintage feeling going down the road, but
you'll also find this pickup far more useful than stock. The
upgraded five-speed manual transmission gives you better ratios to
get the most out of the motor. And the grip of modern tires and
stopping power of four-wheel power disc brakes gives you plenty
more confidence going down the road.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the true classic that's also
truly a great driver. So if you want to enjoy the vintage pickup
experience to the fullest, don't miss this Chevy. Call now!
