An iconic piece of American automotive history Rare vehicle
THE APPEAL
As American as the white picket fence, the pickup truck has been a staple of the American way of life since its introduction in the early 20th century, from workhorse to show pony the utilitarian icon has been the number one vehicle of choice in the US for decades.
One manufacturer that has continuously been at the forefront of pickup trucks is, of course, Dodge. Their influence and heritage have made them an American icon, with millions of trucks sold it is the perfect advertisement for the land of the free.
This 1952 B-Series B3B pickup is an alluring and charming piece of American automotive history. It has been kept as part of an enthusiasts' collection since its import in 2015, being used infrequently but kept in good working order. It's a rare vehicle, especially in the UK with many lost over the last 70 years.
