1957 CHEVROLET CAMEO CUSTOM PICKUP

Details

A fully custom 1957 Chevrolet Cameo pickup that has been featured in numerous publications and a Best in Show winner at the Oakland Roadster Show. This custom truck boasts V8 power, automatic transmission and a deluxe interior. Fiberglass panels were added to Chevy’s existing steel cargo box, saving the expense of the tooling process required for steel panels. The tailgate of the Cameo truck also uses a fiberglass outer panels, with latches mounted inside and supported by retractable cables. The

middle of the rear bumper hinges downward, accessing the hidden spare tire compartment. Unique chrome-plated taillights cap off the clean, uncluttered bed. This truck features a custom-sewn gray leather interior with tinted windows, soft leather seats and new carpets. The fully painted dash features a customized sound system and in-dash air conditioning. The fully custom leather door panels and headliner are a classic custom truck touch and complement the correct ’57 Chevy fan-shaped speedometer, aftermarket odometer and a custom tilt steering wheel. Intricate custom-painted window trim and belt molding add a stylish touch. A Fluidyne aluminum radiator keeps everything running cool, and the billet-trimmed V8 sits in a clean engine bay. The orange metallic paint is beautiful, with only a few minor signs of wear, with smoothed door handles and nice original chrome throughout. Instead of the stock metal trim and contrasting paint stripe, this truck’s custom painted bed graphics harken back to the ’57 Bel Air and its unmistakable side spear. This custom truck also features mini bumperettes and chrome corner trim out back. The look is finished with a classic stance courtesy of an air-ride suspension system, and a set of “big and little” Intro alloy mag wheels. Additional features include power steering, power disc brakes, power windows and a 400-watt stereo. Chevrolet’s groundbreaking design is showcased nicely in this nearly $250,000 build that features a full complement of quality components throughout.
