For Sale: 1949 Chevrolet 3100 in Hingham, Massachusetts

Zoom Classic Cars proudly presents this beautifully preserved and highly desirable 1949 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Pickup, an all-steel original example showing just 45k miles. Representing the early years of Chevrolet's legendary Advance-Design series, this truck combines timeless styling with dependable vintage performance. The 1949 model year marked the continuation of Chevrolet's groundbreaking Advance-Design trucks (1947-1955)-the first major redesign following World War II. These trucks were larger, more comfortable, and more refined than their predecessors, helping solidify Chevrolet's dominance in the light truck market. The 3100 series (�-ton pickup) was the most popular configuration in Chevrolet's lineup. The 5-window cab-featuring additional rear corner glass-was especially sought after, offering improved visibility and added collector appeal. These trucks quickly became favorites among farmers, tradesmen, and small businesses, and today they are among the most collectible and recognizable classic American pickups.Under the hood sits a professionally rebuilt replacement 216.5 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder engine thought to be from a 1952 Chevy and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission on the column (three-on-the-tree), delivering that authentic postwar driving experience. Retaining its original 6-volt electrical system, this truck stays true to its roots while benefiting from careful maintenance and attention to detail.This truck received an older restoration in the late 90's that still presents exceptionally well today, with beautiful green paint accented by tasteful period-correct pinstriping. The body is straight and solid throughout, the cab corners in excellent rust free condition and all chrome, trim, and badging remain intact and in excellent condition, highlighting the truck's originality. Inside, you'll find a clean and inviting cabin featuring a brown vinyl bench seat in excellent condition with no rips or tears, full gauge cluster, aftermarket vintage look radio, and heater. All components are functional, and the truck comes with its original radio as an added bonus as shown. The glass is like new, and all weather stripping remains intact and pliable, a testament to the truck's careful preservation. The painted wood bed is in excellent condition and the tailgate works as expected. Rolling on factory-painted steel wheels with Chevrolet-logo chrome hubcaps, the truck is fitted with 1-year-old bias-ply tires for an authentic stance and ride. The step-side bed is in excellent condition, and underneath, the undercarriage is impressively clean, showcasing solid floors, leaf spring suspension, a sound battery box, spare tire mounted underneath, and a single exhaust system.This is a true turnkey classic-meticulously maintained, fully serviced, and ready to drive and enjoy. Everything works as it should, making it an ideal addition to any collection or a standout at local shows and weekend cruises. The truck is stored in MA with clean title in the Owner's name.
