Used For Sale at Auction: 1955 Chevrolet 3100 for sale in West Palm Beach, FL

This exquisite 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Cameo Carrier Pickup is a rolling piece of artwork. The Chevrolet Cameo pickup truck was made from 1955-58 and labeled as "The World's First Sport Truck." The egg-crate grille, wraparound front bumper and rear fiberglass paneled bed was beautifully designed with its modern appearance. Chevrolet sold 5,220 Cameos in 1955, which exceeded first-year expectations based on the 30-percent higher price tag than the standard half-ton truck. A total of 10,321 Chevrolet Cameos were produced. As the VIN indicates, this truck was built at the Tarrytown, NY, plant. This truck has been restored to high-level show-quality standards and has 550 miles since completion. It has been awarded the prestigious AACA National First Prize and Grand National First Prize. The two AACA award medallions are included. Prior to the comprehensive 5-year frame-off restoration, this truck was found in very good original condition. It was with the same owner from 2005-19, as documented on the title. It retains all the original sheet metal and fiberglass throughout. The body is very straight and the panel gaps are excellent. All first-year Cameos were painted two-tone Bombay Ivory and Commercial Red. The window trim, rear window trim and inside rear bed was painted red. The paint quality on this truck is absolutely stunning. It has all-new glass throughout. All of the exterior trim work is truly brilliant. It sits on the correct 15" red rims with chrome hubcaps and Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall 6.70x15" tires. The rear inside bed is beautifully finished. Inside, the upholstery was also two-tone and came with armrests, dual sun visors, a cigarette lighter, chrome doorknobs and a large wraparound rear window.

The engine pad stamping indicates the year 1955 and New York assembly plant. The engine was professionally rebuilt and balanced. It's equipped with a Pertronix ignition system for quick starting. The engine breathes through the correct-style exhaust. The engine is coupled to a 3-speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly. The undercarriage was completely restored and is highly detailed.
