The American pick-up truck has undergone a drastic change over the generations. Born out of necessity and raised on the farm, trucks have been the workhorse of the agricultural and industrialized world for over a century. It’s only been recently that trucks gained a civility that has placed them on the forefront of comfort and luxury. While the modern truck is a creature of comfort with air-condition and multiple cup holders, the utilitarian truck from previous generations carries with it a unique charm that only an old truck has.
Such is the case with the 1952 Series 3100 pick-up offered here, which for its era is downright luxurious with a factory stock radio and heater. Featuring a charming five-window cab, Chevrolet’s “Advanced Design” trucks were built from1947 through 1955 and proved to be a popular truck. This example is finished in GM’s Emerald Green with Chrome Chevrolet hub caps and beautifully finished wood in the rear bed. This is a solid truck throughout that carries just a hint of dazzle with a chrome grille and bumpers. Inside it features the wonderfully simplistic charm that only a Chevy truck of this era could have. A large bench seat has room for three and driving is easy with a three-speed column mounted shifter. A simple dashboard layout is easy to read and power for this Chevy truck comes from its tried and proven “Thriftmaster” 216.5 cubic-inch inline six cylinder with 90 horsepower. Most pleasing is Chevrolet’s five-window design with corner cab windows that greatly enhances visibility while making a stylish statement. This truck also rides on wide white wall tires for a look that’s pure nostalgia.
The modern truck may be comfortable, but it’s no match for the charm and charisma of a vintage pick-up. This Chevrolet 3100 is a true unmolested survivor that represents an era when a cup of coffee was balanced on the dash instead of a cup holder. Whether at the Friday night car show or the local lumber yard, this pick-up will make a dashing appearance wherever it goes.
