GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this beautiful 1957 3100-series "Task Force" Pick-Up. A complete restoration was completed approximately 10 years ago. The Restoration includes a brilliant red paint job. Powering the 57' is a dressed up, carbureted 350, mated to an automated transmission. The Chevy also features four wheel disc brakes, power windows, door locks, brakes and power steering. Although the 3100 Series pickup wasn't in the class of the Cameo Carrier, they put much more of an...emphasis on design and style than ever before. The market was shifting towards using trucks for more than just work and although the market was on a comeback, the overall population needed to use these for not only a utilitarian approach but also for personal transportation. The first opportunity of designing a truck that could fit both roles was in front of Chevy and they jumped on it before most manufacturers. With an eye-catching truck now in the market and with the capabilities needed to use it for more than just that, the newly designed Series 3100 pickup became most popular and was revolutionary from the cab forward. These vehicles not only grew popular in the civilian market but also for businesses alike for both work and promotional reasons.
