Chevy Created an Enduring Classic Truck?

Answer 1

Through the years, several classic chevy pickup trucks have become very popular with collectors around the world. Some of these trucks are 1950s models, while others are models from the 1960s and 1970s.

Some of the most unusual and highly-prized classic chevy pickup trucks are the Corvair trucks that were produced in the early 1960s. Like the Chevy Corvair sedans, the truck models featured engine-in-the-rear design.

The Corvair Rampside pickup truck featured a short, flat cab, with the classic Corvair front end and grille design. A special feature on this truck was a ramp/door in the bed, on the passenger side. This handy door folded downward and served as a ramp, on which small, wheeled devices could easily be rolled into the truck. Other models of Chevy Corvair trucks include the Greenbrier and the Corvan, which was more of a cargo van.

One of the rarest and most sought-after of the classic Chevy pickup trucks is the 1958 Cameo Carrier. Less than 1,500 of these trucks were made in 1958, the last year that Chevy produced the Cameo line of pickup trucks. The 1958 Chevy Cameo Carrier was a light-duty truck that featured smooth, sculpted lines that were normally only found on cars. With its sheet metal body, whitewall tires and fancy grillework, the Cameo Carrier is still considered to be one of the most classic Chevy pickup trucks ever made.

Another one of the classic Chevy pickup trucks is the El Camino. First introduced in 1959, this hybrid automobile/pickup truck featured the best qualities of cars and pickup trucks and combined them into an attractive and functional vehicle.

Although the El Camino achieved popularity when it was introduced in 1959, production on this classic Chevy pickup truck was discontinued until 1964. From 1964 until 1987, the El Camino offered a range of body styles, sizes and colors, with several different-sized engines available. El Camino's are frequently outfitted with high performance engines and other muscle car accoutrements.

Other classic Chevy pickup trucks include the Silverado, the Colorado and the S-10. Several different styles of these trucks were and are produced and many of them maintain excellent resale value.
