Vehicle Description
This 1957 Chevrolet Cameo Pickup Truck is a prestigious, special
edition Chevy pickup with a truly glamorous look. Originally
debuting in 1955 as a part of Chevrolet's "Task Force" truck line,
the Cameo was ahead of its time. Considered by Chevy as "the sports
model of the truck field," the new Cameo Pickup Truck was touted
for its dazzling, and more sporty look. The new-look grilles in
1957 were chrome on the Cameo and the Cameo also received special
trim treatment including a contrast band that runs from the cab to
taillights and special Cameo script. Perhaps the most distinctive
feature of the Cameo is the use of fiberglass in the bed of pickup
which gave these trucks an even more elevated look. The 1957 Cameos
saw the introduction of wraparound rear windows for improved
visibility and the optional 265 V8 engine used in the previous
years was increased to a 283 Cubic Inch model. Likely due to its
position as a luxury truck, Chevrolet sold very few Cameos in 1957,
a total of 2,244 which makes these trucks especially collectible
today. Under the hood on this particular '57 Cameo is a 283 Cubic
Inch V8 engine paired with a single 4 barrel carburetor that
provides plenty of power to this classic pickup truck. Anybody can
drive this 1957 Chevy since the 283 V8 is backed up to an
Hydramatic Automatic transmission. A modern air conditioning system
has been added to this Cameo Pickup Truck by previous ownership so
that you can stay cool while cruising even on the hottest summer
days. The fiberglass pickup box is in nice condition and is covered
by a vinyl tonneau cover. This Cameo rides on wide whitewall tires
on steel rims with hubcaps and beauty rings which gives this truck
a fantastic fifties look. The exterior of this Cameo has been
refinished in a beautiful two-tone paint scheme consisting of
Bombay Ivory with Cardinal Red accents. The interior on this 1957
Cameo Carrier looks great! The front bench seat has been
reupholstered in red vinyl which gives this truck a mild custom
look inside. The dash, door panels and steering wheel are all in
wonderful shape as well. The dash is equipped with a 100 MPH
Speedometer, temperature gauge, amp gauge, fuel gauge, and AM radio
with the air conditioning unit tucked neatly underneath. Whether
you're looking for your very first classic pickup truck or you're
looking to add to your existing collection, this 1957 Chevrolet
Cameo Pickup Truck would make an excellent choice. Give us a call
