1954 Chevrolet 3100

Description

This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 five-window pickup is an intoxicating mix of originality, custom touches, and rare features... and it's all available right now for a surprisingly affordable price.

We know why this truck grabbed you attention, and it's the same reason why it will grab everyone else's, too. That matte black paint is a special treat. Some matte vehicles are lackluster (literally), but thanks to exceptionally clean and straight sheetmetal, the light rolls off the Advanced Deign pickup with the kind of uniformity that adds quality and a subtle shine. The whole appearance defines aggressively elegant. And speaking of aggression, the lowered suspension and whitewall tires on dogdish hubcaps is just great old school intimidation. But the appeal of this pickup is more than just the custom touches. It has all the right features that you love like the side mounted spare tire, and the dark wood side rails that match the lumber in the bed. And there's nothing more desirable on these Chevys than the five-window cab design.

When you open the door and look at the bench seat, you realize the black paint with whitewalls that dominates the exterior styling is no accident. The fresh two-tone bench gives this interior a uniform inside/outside appearance that really amplifies the atmosphere. Beyond that are just the essentials that make owning a classic pickup a great experience. That classic Americana feeling is transmitted though your fingertips as you grab the steering wheel that was worn in by generations of workmen. You get a warm feeling as you gaze over the original, painted steel dash and gauge package. You get the addition of a tach, because a truck is all about function, and that lets you get the most out of the manual transmission.

Under the hood is a 235 cubic-inch inline six. This is the correct displacement for '54, and because it's part of the iconic Stovebolt/Blue Flame era, it has earned a reputation for being tough and reliable as an anvil. While this is not an all-out speed machine, the cool four-speed manual transmission on the floor ensures you are in complete control of the powerband. Besides, you don't buy a truck like this for all-out performance. Sure, a small block fits easily in the engine bay, but your largest enjoyment is watching others see you ride around town in this alluring package. And right now you get to do that with an intoxicating rhythmic chug that comes from true vintage truck motoring.

Beautiful on the outside, nicely coordinated on the inside, and the right kind of old school under the hood – this is a pickup that's easy to love. And with the prices these vintage Chevy 3100s are getting right now, you know this deal won't last long. Call today!!
