42-Years Owned 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup was sold new in Albuquerque, New Mexico and has remained in the state for its entire life. It was acquired by the seller from the second owner in 1975 and received a cosmetic refresh in 1989 that included a repaint in the original green along with a new bed floor. Power comes from a 235 ci inline-six that is backed by a three-speed column shift transmission, and the seller has kept a maintenance log detailing the major work completed over the years. The truck is described as being a regular weekend driver, and is offered for sale carrying a clean New Mexico title in the seller’s name.

Finished in Green with Cream trim, the truck was repainted its original color in 1989 due to aging of the previous paint. The front Chevrolet bow-tie shows signs of paint wear, and assorted body trim and gaskets were updated at the same time as the repaint.
