1986 Chevrolet C10 | Poole, Dorset

The Chevrolet C10 is the half-ton, rear-wheel-drive pickup from GM's Square Body generation, liked for its upright cab, crisp angular panels and straightforward working-truck manner. This 1986 example carries that 1980s American truck look, with an open bed behind the cab. It is finished in Blue with a Cream interior, a soft pairing against the flat, bold bodywork. The car is left-hand drive, which gives it an American look on set: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side. Three people fit across the cabin. The square-body profile suits photography, period film and TV, and music videos set in 1980s America. The open bed gives stylists room to dress the back with props, and at events a working pickup stands apart from the usual classic saloons. Weddings and personal hires are open to anyone wanting something different. The car is based in Southampton, Dorset.
