Nostalgia is all about providing a vintage experience that is sometimes even better than it really was back in the day. This restored 1955 Chevrolet 3200 long bed pickup truck delivers on that exact idea to deliver a period-correct feeling in a package that is rarely seen in restored trucks today.
This is truly a truck of distinction, from the varnished wood planks and stainless-steel cargo strips covering the bed floor, to the correctly painted white grill, headlight bezels and .....
bumpers that match the white roof top. The 15-inch painted steel wheels with original bright bowtie logo hubcaps and smooth-riding Coker Classic wide whitewall tires add to the nostalgic feel of this great old truck.
HIGHLIGHTS:
261 straight-six engine
3-speed manual transmission
12-volt electrical system
Restored largely to its original appearance
Long-term family ownership
Coker Classic wide whitewall tires
Varnished wood bed planks
Inside is more investment in keeping it looking like a time machine. Glossy teal and white paint on the doors and dash give the cab a bright attitude. The correct black floor covering, factory bowtie logo radio delete plate, factory heater and a comfortable custom upholstered two-tone bench seat are clean and rugged - just like a proper pickup should be. And if you are truly nostalgic, you are going to love driving this truck. There's nothing quite like the feeling of the classically grippy large steering wheel that gives you a great view of the factory gauge package and the road ahead.
Under the hood is exactly how it should look. Black fender walls, an oil bath air cleaner, and bright blue paint on Chevrolet's rugged 261 cubic-inch straight-six engine. Reliability and drivability have been improved with an upgraded to a 12-volt electrical system. The motor fires up nicely and has the smooth feeling of a solid investment. The fun to operate column-shifted three-speed manual transmission is geared for truck duty while also giving you proper control over the motor.
This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 pickup has been in the same family since the 1960's who restored eight years and have driven it sparsely since. Authentic looking, unmodified classic Chevy trucks with a great history like this seldom are offered for sale, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire something truly special. Call today!
