Chevrolet's Advance Design series was the Bowtie's signature pickup truck offering between 1947 and 1955. Sporting several stylistic and mechanical enhancements over the previous era, the Advance Design series would go on to sell in spades. Up for grabs today is an excellent 1954 Chevrolet 3100 that's reportedly nearly all-original but packs a few useful upgrades to make it more repairable and serviceable in the modern era that we live in. We're also told that the truck has just under 100,000 miles on it.
This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 portrays a rather sunny persona, thanks to its two-tone blue and black color theme. Its bulbous design embodies what the late Forties and Early Fifties were like in terms of American automobiles, and we're told that the truck has been repainted. We're also told that it reportedly sports its original wheels as well as a wood-trimmed cargo bed. Take a closer look, and indeed, you'll see some patina, especially on the chrome bits. However, such symbols of age only make this 1954 Chevrolet 3100 even more desirable, as it's clearly a survivor rather than a garage queen. Inside the five-windowed cabin, there's a dark blue bench seat and a period dash with the requisite chrome embellishing as befits the Fifties. Take a few moments to appreciate the long gear lever, skinny-rimmed steering wheel, and plushly padded door cards. Yes, the mirrors and windows are manually operated, and there's no climate control, but what this truck offers is loads of character. In fact, the only modern interior facet is reported to be an aftermarket sound system, and since we don't see a gargantuan touchscreen anywhere, it's safe to assume that the upgrade is as unobtrusive as possible.
This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 has its original 235ci six-cylinder engine that's reportedly had its upper part redone. The drive is sent to the rear wheels via a manual transmission that's reportedly been re-geared to enable highway cruising. We must also tell you that the electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volts, from the original six volts that these trucks came with. No doubt, this will help nearly all the vehicle's critical systems, from the starter motor to the headlamps.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
Nowadays, pickup trucks are recognized as go-anywhere, do-anything tools with the toys to match. In addition to offering the utility that is lent to them thanks to their versatile body style, they now support the same creature comforts as some of the most luxurious high-end cars while offering the power and style to match. But, in post-war America, the humble pickup was favored for its versatility, practicality, and reliability. However, even though style may have taken a backseat in the minds of the consumer, there’s no denying the classic charm of this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup. Our featured truck is reported to be mostly original but has been subject to routine and preventative maintenance. It also features a new 216ci inline six-cylinder engine.
Pickup trucks are utilitarian beasts designed to support busy professionals while offering the versatility and flexibility to haul any cargo unhindered by the constraints a normal car or SUV would have. But clearly, the designers at Chevrolet didn’t think pickups had to be boring machines lacking character. How can we be so sure? One look at this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 will give you all the evidence you need. The 1955 Chevrolet 3100 not only retains its original good looks and styling, but the build has focused on making this classic pickup as usable today as it would have been when new. As such, you’ll find a few modern appointments to keep this 3100 in line with the times.
The Chevrolet Corvette has always been an iconic sports car. While the fourth generation may have looked like an evolution of its predecessor, under the skin, things were completely redesigned. The C4 features a revised five-link suspension set up for the rear, which greatly improved handling. The fiberglass panels were upgraded to plastic, and the radiator was angled at 15 degrees so that police radar would have a harder time locking on to the front end. All in all, the C4 generation of Chevrolet Corvette marked a massive shift for the model — and it’s no wonder that interest and prices are on the rise. Our featured car is a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette with 43,000 miles on the clock. It could be the perfect companion for your next classic adventure.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
While we come across several custom builds here at Exotic Car Trader, rarely do we offer a prototype that was created from the ground up. The 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer is a one-of-a-kind creation currently offered for sale by the car's builder and inventor. Using a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 as a donor, the sale includes the molds used in its creation of the custom bodywork. The curb weight is reportedly just 2,620 lbs, which is roughly 500 pounds lighter than the original Z06 donor car. One look at this painstakingly crafted prototype, and you can tell that hundreds of hours of engineering and planning have gone into its creation. If you’re looking for something truly unique and an appearance that wouldn’t look out of place tearing around the Circuit de la Sarthe, then this 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer could be the perfect opportunity.
While Ford had the legendary Bronco, General Motors was backing their own iconic horse in the full-size SUV category of the ‘70s. It fielded their ever-popular Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy models. By 1975, the Jimmy was into its second generation. Known as the “Rounded Line” or “Square Body” generation, these models were available in both two and four-wheel drive and were closely related to the Chevrolet C/K trucks. The classic styling of this generation of Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmys is loved by fans of old-school offroaders. It's where good looks, functionality, and off-road prowess all converge at one intersection. Our featured 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD has been lovingly upgraded for life in the 21st century, with many new parts and subtle improvements made along the way. It features a 350ci V8 engine with 65,000 miles on it.
The Land Rover Defender is a legendary piece of machinery; it was built on the battlefield and for many is still the best tool for getting a job done, be it a spot of farming or off-roading in style.
