1955 Chevrolet 3100 Cameo (2nde Série) Sans réserve Constructeur : 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Cameo (2nde Série) Modèle : Sans réserve Carte Grise : Carte grise française N° Chassis : Châssis n° H255L011395 - V8 265ci ! - Restauration depuis le châssis - Haut de gamme des pick-up Chevrolet  - Sans réserve   1955 fut l’année du renouveau pour Chevrolet, tant du point de vue technique qu’esthétique, et les utilitaires ne furent pas en reste. Ainsi, le Cameo Series 3100, qui coiffait la gamme des pick-up, innovait avec une ligne moderne intégrant un pare-brise panoramique, un plateau arrière avec des panneaux en fibre de verre, ou encore le tout nouveau V8 small block de 265 ci (4.3L). Puissant et élégant, il recevait une unique teinte « Bombay Ivoire » avec un intérieur rouge que reprenaient les panneaux intérieurs du plateau. L’exemplaire présenté, fabriqué à l’usine de Los Angeles, a bénéficié d’une importante remise en état depuis le châssis aux USA et documentée dans un dossier photos. La carrosserie a été séparée du châssis pour une remise en état de ce dernier. La cabine a été décapée traitée et repeinte dans sa teinte d’origine, tout comme le compartiment arrière. Le moteur a été révisé et replacé, avec la boîte automatique, dans un compartiment irréprochable. La sellerie et l’électricité ont bénéficié des mêmes soins et les chromes ont été restaurés. Ayant peu roulé depuis sa restauration, ce flamboyant et luxueux pick-up a été importé en Europe en 2018 alors qu’il était immatriculé dans le Nevada. L’intérêt de cette version et la qualité de sa remise en état séduira tous les gentleman farmers ! French title Chassis No. H255L011395 - 265 ci V8 engine! - Restoration from the ground up - High-end Chevrolet pick-up - No reserve 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Cameo (2nd Series) The year 1955 marked a new beginning for Chevrolet (both technically and aesthetically) and commercial vehicles were no exception. In fact, at the top of the pick-up range, the Cameo Series 3100 broke new ground with a modern design featuring a panoramic windscreen, a loading bed with fibreglass panels and a brand-new 265 ci (4.3-litre) small-block V8 engine. Powerful and elegant, it was available in the unique ‘Bombay Ivory’ colour scheme with a red interior, matching the inner panels of the loading bed. Built at the Los Angeles factory, this particular example was extensively restored in the USA (starting from the chassis) and the work was documented in a photo album. The bodywork was separated from the chassis to enable the latter to be restored. The interior was stripped, treated and repainted in its original colour, just like the rear compartment. The engine was rebuilt and refitted, along with the automatic gearbox, into a compartment in immaculate condition. The upholstery and electrical system were given the same care and chrome parts were restored. Having been driven sparingly after its restoration, this flamboyant and luxurious pick-up was imported into Europe in 2018 when it was registered in Nevada. The attractiveness of this model and the quality of its restoration will appeal to all gentleman farmers!
