General Motors' Advance Design Series of trucks, represented the company's first post-war reshape and were claimed to be bigger, stronger and sleeker than the AK model they replaced. The newcomers quickly acquired a loyal following and were produced with only minor amendments from 1947 to 1955, during which period the Chevrolet brand topped the American truck sales charts. There were five offerings: the 3100 (1/4 ton), 3600 (3/4 ton), 3800 (1 ton), Thriftmaster and Loadmaster variants. The lefthand drive sale vehicle is a 3100 that's been fully restored - and its shows. Finished in Gold and trimmed in brown leather, the Pickup has enormous presence by any standards. Power comes from a 3.8-litre (231ci) petrol engine coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox. The vendor views the bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and transmission as all being in 'good' condition. Drive a modern box and long for something more interesting - then this could be for you?!
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is a three-speed manual and not four as stated in the catalogue.
