1952 Chevrolet 3100

1952 Chevrolet Other Pickups Description

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is excited to offer this one of a kind 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup. 1952 the year of Dragnet, American Bandstand and the first time you could buy the guitar that started it all, the Les Paul. Just as the Les Paul has been a collector's choice so has the '52 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup. Both equally enjoyable stock or customized with this being the latter. The pearl white nose penetrates through a thin layer of pearl purple before landing to points over the lime dipped body and once again repeating behind the rear wheels. The slight touch of pearled purple in the grill and blacked out headlight bezels say there's more, keep going. The athletic stance of this pickup has only been enhanced with its chopped roof line and lowered ride height. The running boards look more like an invitation to the bed with its tonneau cover hiding the shinny wood planks. There is no missing the gigantic tires tucked neatly away under the bed, taunting the driver to light 'em up. If its reliable power you want the 350 CID V8 under the hood will excite you. Pop the hood and that excitement becomes jaw dropping. The lime engine bay framed by the pearl white is a sight in itself but the real attention is the beautiful simplicity. All hoses, wires and clamps neatly in their places. The engine chromed in all the right places with creature comforts like power steering and power brakes. The three speed automatic with column shifter, cloth interior, power windows, power antenna, power locks and keyless entry make you really feel like this is a brand new truck. If this was a coveted 1952 Les Paul you could say the bridge, pickups and intonation are set for pure performance while the sweet action glides you to just the right note. Turning the key and throttling the exhaust you'll hear that note like you plugged into an old tube amplifier. This Chevrolet 3100 Pickup plays new, just like that Les Paul and for much less of an investment.
