wraparound, one-piece glass Optional Full View Rear Window, also
wraparound Shrouded headlights and running boards concealed behind
cab doors � Chevrolet sent shock waves through the pickup truck
industry after it unveiled the Cameo Carrier. Now, you can make
some waves at your next cruise event or monthly car show with this
1955 Cameo Carrier, available from MotoeXotica Classic Cars. This
example was built in GM's Flint, Michigan assembly plant and still
retains its correct iconic fiberglass rear fenders and tailgate.
Dressed in Commercial Red with Bombay Ivory accents (the opposite
of how the trucks came from the factory), the paint and trim are in
very good condition, with some minor blemishes visible along the
top of the cargo bed walls. The truck came from the factory with
fiberglass rear fenders and the exterior tailgate panel. The glass
panels are in excellent condition and the truck's lights are in
similar excellent order. This truck rolls on Uniroyal Tiger Paw
radials, size P225/75R15, surrounding red wheels and factory wheel
covers. The truck's body panels are straight and solid and include
visors over the Sweep-Sight wraparound windshield and doors. The
truck has the Full View Rear Window, which is also wraparound. The
cargo bed contains a wood floor in good order. The engine bay is
very tidy and the battery appears new. Driver assistance features
include power steering and power brakes. Under the hood is a 350
CID V-8 engine with dual exhausts bolted to a Turbo Hydramatic 350
three-speed automatic transmission. Opening either door reveals
hidden running boards and a red-and-white bench seat that is in
excellent shape. The red carpeting is in very good condition, as is
the white headliner, red metal instrument panel and two-spoke black
steering wheel and red door panels. The mirror glass and shift
lever are in good order. Rounding out the interior is a Pioneer
AM/FM stereo with CD player and two speakers. Currently the horn
and the wipers are inoperable. The mid-1955 introduction of
Chevrolet's�Cameo Carrier�pickup truck�helped pave the way for the
El Camino. Although it was a model variant of Chevrolet's�Task
Force�light-duty pickup, the Cameo offered an array of car-like
features that included passenger-car styling, fiberglass rear
fenders, two-tone paint, a relatively luxurious interior, as well
as an optional V8 engine, automatic transmission and power assists.
The�Chevrolet Task Force�was�Chevrolet's successor to the�Advance
Design�trucks. The Task Force Series ran from late 1955 (second
series) through 1959. The 1955 Second Series offered standard
options and add-ons such as 12-volt electrical systems, the
first�V-8�(the 265 cubic inch) and fleet-side six-, seven- and
eight-foot length beds. Competition to this Chevrolet in 1955
included GMC's Blue Chip Series, Ford's F-Series and Dodge's
C-Series pickup trucks. This truck is currently located at our
facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer
shows 413 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear,
mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN: H255F013788 Note:
