What’s special about this listing

This 1948 Chevrolet 3100 Five-Window pickup is a stunning example of American postwar truck design, presented after a meticulous bare-metal restoration. Finished to an exceptionally high standard, every detail of this iconic Advance Design truck has been carefully restored to preserve its vintage character while ensuring modern reliability.

Under the hood sits Chevrolet’s legendary 216 cubic inch inline-six engine, paired with a smooth 3-speed manual transmission. True to its roots, this truck offers the unmistakable sound and feel of a late-1940s Chevrolet workhorse, while benefiting from its recent, comprehensive restoration.

The “Five-Window” cab design, highly sought after by collectors, provides excellent visibility and classic styling. From its brilliant chrome accents and period-correct badging to the wide whitewall tires and immaculate wood bed, this 3100 captures the essence of Chevrolet’s golden era of trucks.

Offered proudly by Gem Classic Cars, this pickup stands as a piece of rolling history—ready to show, drive, and enjoy.
