1954 Chevrolet 3100
The Chevrolet Advance Design platform was the company's first major redesign after WWII and aimed to revolutionize the light and medium-duty truck for the American public. Compared to the outgoing AK Series platform, the new Advance Design was bigger, stronger, and used more modern construction techniques to ensure quality. It was so robust that man Chevrolet and GMC trucks, from cab-overs to panel vans, used the same basic frame and design. 1954 marks a significant face-lift to the AD series, with a new curved, one-piece windshield, revised interior, a completely redesigned grille, and an upgraded 235 cubic inch straight-6 engine.
This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 pickup is an excellent example of the Advance Design platform. As a late model truck, it benefits from significant improvements over earlier versions. It received a high-quality restoration in the mid-2000s and still shows very nicely. The two-tone red and black exterior over black vinyl is a classic combination that suits the body lines of the truck perfectly, and the newly lacquered wooden bed with chrome rails is a fantastic upgrade from stock. The interior is well-appointed with seat belts and air conditioning, greatly enhancing usability without detracting from this 3100's vintage charm. The inline-6 engine performs beautifully and has recently received a full tune-up. This 3100 is a turn-key American classic, ready for its next adventure.
