The Appeal
'50s Chevy pickups are quite common, but panel vans, far less so. Such is their rarity that these commercials are highly sought after and ripe for customisation. This 1950 Chevrolet 3105 is finished in a striking yellow and is complete with tinted door windows, oversized chrome wheels, and custom panels in the cargo area. It's in great condition for a van of this age, and we're informed that it drives very well indeed.
Having been in the current owner's possession for over 15 years since being imported from the United States, this panel truck has been maintained as a promotional vehicle with the mechanical attention needed to ensure dependable operation. With its mostly original configuration complemented by thoughtful upgrades, this Chevy 3105 offers the perfect balance of vintage character and practical usability for the discerning collector or business owner looking for a distinctive classic commercial.
