Vehicle Description
This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup has all the right looks for a cool
vintage truck. The Advanced Design style has matured into
old-school tough Americana attitude, and oh yes, this one has the
ultra-desirable five-window style. Now you have to decide, will it
be the coolest workhorse cruiser around, or a candidate for a V8
upgrade in the hot vintage truck market? With this exceptional
condition and affordable price, anything is possible.
This Chevy provides a real lesson in honesty. Over the years,
plenty of classic trucks have been filled with more features than
the factory ever intended. Instead, this one has just gone through
good maintenance as it passes into its seventh decade. The body is
nice and straight, and the wood in the truck bed has been replaced
to erase decades of any tough loads or rot. The glass is nice and
clean, including the optional rear quarter glass that makes this
the desirable five-window pickup. The Polo Green is the result of
at least one modern respray. It's a timeless color now featuring a
clearcoat shine that will make you want to show your Chevy off this
weekend. Plus, there are hints of well-earned sophistication with
the tall chrome five-slat grille, and the shine of the two-piece
wheels. It's the kind of appearance that comes with real
credibility. You could even buy this pickup today and put your
company's name on the side. It will instantly make your business
look like it has decades of sturdy history, even if you just opened
your door yesterday.
The interior is still working-class all the way, and clean, but
that's all part of the vintage truck appeal. The two-tone green and
gold is always attractive, which is all part of the thoughtful care
that has gone into this pickup over the years. Trucks of this era
had very few features, so to see the heater and radio (and have
them still working) makes this a positively loaded machine! But
more than just distinguished, you really like this truck because
from the moment you slip behind the three-spoke steering wheel you
can feel the grooves of the generations of workmen who have relied
on this rolling history.
Under the hood this truck continues its theme of honest
showmanship. Chevrolet's Blue Flame six looks terrific with the big
blue block and silver head cover radiating from within the dark
engine bay. Plus, this is believed to be the larger optional 235
cubic-inch motor. That means this is the kind of classic tough
truck engine that has some serious workman torque, is smooth as a
sewing machine, and has a fantastic old exhaust note that chugs
along like a freight train. For that added touch of period-correct
fun, the motor is mated to a three-speed column shift manual
transmission.
Five-window Chevys are red hot, so it's amazing such a sharp,
well-sorted, and distinguished pickup is also quite affordable.
That's you know it will be gone soon. Call now!!
