1956 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup | London, Kent

The Chevrolet 3100 is the half-ton pickup from Chevrolet's post-war truck range, liked for its rounded cab, broad wings and open bed. It is a working American truck with soft, curved lines, and it looks at home against brick walls, farm gates and quiet high streets. This 1956 example is green with a grey interior, a calm pairing that lets the curves of the bodywork carry the frame. The cab seats three. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side, and the truck gives a period American look on location. Photography and advertising shoots can use the open bed for props, flowers or products. Film, TV and music video sets get a 1950s American look from the shape and the driving position. Events can use the rounded styling as a display centrepiece. Weddings and personal hires suit it too. The truck is based in London, Kent.
