1956 Chevrolet Cameo Carrier 3100

Description

Chevrolet's Task Force trucks debuted in March 1955 with newly redesigned styling which closely mimicked their passenger cars. Designed by Ned Jordan, these pickups featured a stylish wraparound windshield, hooded headlights, and an egg-crate grille, while the traditional pontoon-style fenders found on Advance Design models were eliminated. The Cameo Carrier followed suit, with stylish car-like design, a luxurious interior, an automatic transmission, and an optional V8 engine. Initially available only in Bombay Ivory with red cab accents, additional colors appeared in 1956 with production continuing until 1958. Today, Chevrolet Task Force pickups are some of the most beloved collector trucks extant for their handsome styling, robust build quality, and enduring usability.
