Chevrolet Cameo Carrier was never just a work truck - it was a
statement. With its signature fiberglass bed and refined trim, the
Cameo blurred the line between utility and luxury. This example has
been restored to a high standard, with all the right lines, gaps,
and trim in place. It presents as a true showpiece and an authentic
representation of mid-century Chevrolet styling. The body is
extremely straight, and overall this truck presents beautifully as
a high-caliber classic! PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Finished in
classic Cardinal Red with crisp white accents, this Cameo radiates
vintage charm. The paint shows extremely well and maintains a deep
gloss throughout, with imperfections at an extreme minimum.
Although restored in the early 1990s, proper storage and occasional
use has kept the finish looking fresh and vibrant, with only the
most minor signs of age to be found. It's hard to believe this
restoration is over 30 years old!Kept tucked away in a private
collection for over 30 years, it's no surprise this Cameo looks as
good as it does. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: Step inside and
you're greeted with a period-correct red and white interior that
ties in beautifully with the truck's exterior. From the bench seat
to the painted dashboard and trim, everything feels cohesive and
thoughtfully finished to achieve that "1950s time machine" feel.
The cabin shows very little use since restoration, and it's clear
that this truck has been treated with care since the day it rolled
out of the restoration shop. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood
sits a factory-style 283ci V8 paired to a Hydra-Matic automatic
transmission. The engine bay is dressed with all the correct
vintage components, including an oil bath air cleaner, Delco-Remy
generator, AC Delco radiator cap, and more. It starts easily, runs
smoothly, and the glasspack muffler adds a touch of old-school
attitude to its soundtrack. Mechanically, this truck appears to be
ready to enjoy! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: • Eye-catching
period-correct color combo with show-stopping style • High-quality
restoration with accurate factory attributes • One of the most
stylish pickups of the 1950s! • Beautiful preservation since
restoration with minimal mileage • A real-deal collector piece
that's as fun to drive as it is to display! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE
