Melanson Motors is proud to offer this painstakingly detailed 1955
Chevrolet 3100 Pro Touring. This is a very special build with only
1800 break in miles! Built by Cleveland Design in New Brunswick
Canada, no detail was overlooked. This Chevrolet was built to be
both an incredible driver and an absolute show piece. It is a
complete Pro Touring build with the best of everything, but the
owner wanted to keep true to the factory appearance wherever
possible. The idea was that most restomod builds become dated
looking, but the original 1955 style is timeless. This is the most
perfect truck we have seen! The attention to detail is next level.
The original rust free california body was painted with high
quality PPG paint and 5 coats of clear. Everything was then wet
sanded and polished to a mirror finish, including all painted
surfaces inside the cabin. To avoid cluttering up the original
looking dash, the USB ports and electric e-brake button were
fabricated into the ash tray so they are hidden when not in use.
Custom power window switches were modified to accept the original
style window cranks. It looks like the original crank windows but
they are custom powered. The truck rides on a Hitman Hotrods custom
chassis with 4 wheel coilovers and a four link. The chassis was
smoothed to perfection and finished in matte black. The Big Cam LS3
performance crate engine was painted Chevrolet orange and modified
to accept vintage Offenhauser valve covers for a retro look. Custom
15x8 front and 15x10 rear wheels were made by Wheelsmith in
California for this truck and fabricated to accept the original
1955 center caps. Custom fabricated mini tubs were installed to
help the truck accept the wider rear wheels. The wood used for the
bed was milled from walnut logs by a local craftsman. The exhaust
is an absolute work of art! The custom stainless steel system was
sanded and polished to a mirror finish from front to back. Every
panel on the truck was custom gapped using welding and filing by
Cleveland Design including the ashtray, glovebox, headlight bezels,
and grille. That's right, even the ashtray and glove box were
custom gapped for a perfect fit. These are just a small few of the
incredible details that give this truck such character and style.
This 3100 does everything well on the road. It steers and stops
like it's on rails and it sounds amazing. If you want a pro touring
truck that was built with next level attention to detail, do not
miss this opportunity! Chassis and Upgrades
