1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck

This is our third example of the 1947-55 Chevy Advanced Design Series pickup. Click to see the 1950 5-window we spotted last fall, and this rare 1955 made only during the first half of that model year.

1955 Chevrolet 3100 Series 1 pickup truck

We've already spotted one copy of the Chevrolet Advance-Design Series pickup truck, made between 1947 and 1955. The truck pictured is interesting because it's a (comparatively) rare 1955, made only until March of that year, when Chevy introduced a completely new truck.

1950 Chevrolet 3100 five-window pickup truck

Made between June, 1947 and March, 1955 there are few American vehicles more iconic than the Chevrolet Advance-Design Series pickup truck. Chevy sold about half a million of these per year. GMC sold a virtually identical model. Base price new was $1,243.

An incomplete new paint job notwithstanding, this example appears to be about as close to 100% original as you can get. Note: this might be a '49 rather than a '50. I'd have to take a lot closer look than the owner would probably like to tell for sure.
