In this 90th Video from Classic Car ChitChat you will get to see a gorgeous 1950 Chevy 3100 Pick Up Truck in Fire Engine Red! The 5-window truck was part of the first series of Chevrolet trucks to be produced after the World War II, and it was a popular and iconic vehicle of its time and still is today. The truck has a durable and reliable inline six-cylinder engine, as well as its spacious and comfortable cab. To top it off the truck has distinctive styling, with its "Advance-Design" body. Back in 50’s the truck was available in either red, green, black, and blue.
In case you are keeping Track this is Video # 90 of Classic Car ChitChat Videos!
I hope my Classic Car ChitChat videos make you smile. I do them in my spare time because I truly love cars and my intentions are simply to honour the beautiful cars I get to see and to really understand the passion and love of the vehicle by the driver (or caretaker as Jay Leno would say) of the car. I also understand too that my videos perhaps lack the polish calibre of great KZfaqrs like: Doug DeMuro, Scotty Kilmer, and of course my favourite Supercar Blondie. I also know that I can’t even come close the quality & finish you get from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson and the boys at Top Gear. I think they use a little fancier equipment than my little iPhone… LOL
Mission Statement:
My Objective through creating these videos is to shine the spotlight on people who love their vehicles whether it be a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle…. Bottom line is if it has wheels and you love it then let’s show that passion to the world!
Equipment Used:
Camera - Just an iPhone SE (Nothing fancy - which proves anyone can use whatever you have handy to make a video… you don’t need really expensive equipment)
Gimbal - DJI OM4 - For that ultra-smooth cinematic look. (To be honest... still not quite sure how to use it but one day I will figure it out!)
Audio - Rode Wireless GO II (I gotta be honest… this is really the biggest investment that was made… I wish there was a cheaper option but after the first couple of videos I soon realized that audio quality is important and hopefully better than the onboard mic on the iPhone!
Contact Details: If you have any questions or just want to chat you can reach me through all the (non-traditional) typical ways through the following:

If you have read this far, then I thank you. As always, I truly appreciate your “thumbs-up”, and by leaving your comments it demonstrates to me that I managed to get you involved and hopefully made you smile. Most importantly when you subscribe to my channel then you are truly acknowledging my effort to help share with others like you my passion and love for “all things that have wheels” and honouring the people who take care of them.
Thank You
Kevin

Scott, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow ´ordinary people’ like you and I who love cars an opportunity to speak about their love of their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). The truck is just a real head turner and enough power to keep you tooting around town… and of course perfect for the Santa clause parade too.

These old trucks make my heart melt! I'm blessed to own a stock 49 Chevy very similar to this beauty, and the theory I like about the door locks is men were gentlemen back in those days...they always unlocked the door for their lady, then the lady reached over and unlocked the driver door! Another great video! Thank you!

What a lovely reminder of what trucks looked like back in the 50's. This one is very similar to my Grandpa's that I used to sit in the back while he drove my sister and I to town to get ice-cream. 🍧

Giorgio, you said it. There is just something mesmerizing about the lines on the trucks and the stories they could tell as to what was loaded in their cargo areas.

Fantastic old truck still looks like it came off the showroom floor. The owner has done a great job keeping the truck as original as possible. Well done sir for keeping this beautiful truck for us to enjoy and reminisce about the good old days when trucks looked like trucks.

I was told that back in the day that it was not legal to enter a vehicle in traffic (from the road side) so with all the bench seats people used to enter curbside and slide across the seat so they only needed a lock on the passenger side. If anyone ever locked them back in the day.

@ClassicCarChitChat Жыл бұрын

Mike, that would make sense why they had locks on the passenger side only. Interesting philosophy however they also had more angle parking than they do nowadays. I kinda miss seeing that in the urban areas.

Hi Mjisking222, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow ´ordinary people’ like you and I who love cars an opportunity to speak about their love of their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). You are a lucky person indeed to have a wonderful father like Mike. I hope too he inspires you and you will continue the passion of keeping this wonderful truck running for another 50 years (or more).

Oh! It was Henry Ford who first came up with the idea of only having a lock on the passenger, or "curb" side of a vehicle! He felt it was dangerous for a driver to stand in the street to unlock a car or truck, and so only put it on the curb side! It seems Chevrolet followed suit!

Eric, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos are not to be "how to" videos (I think there are amazing videos made by others far qualified than me) instead my focus is to create a platform where "ordinary" people who love cars get an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I appreciate your insight too about Henry Ford and the passenger side door too. Kevin

- In pre-Interstate highway years, most trucks drove close to home; and, close-to-home roads were two-lanes. - It was common/safer to get out and in on the passenger side (rather than get in/out in the road). - So, you lock the driver's door from the inside. - Slide over the seat to the passenger side, and get out on the passenger side. - Then, lock the passenger door from the outside.

After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). That is so cool about the passenger side access. Kinda like my MG, I really dislike driving on the highway with her and back roads where you can see nature and small towns are my favourite too. Although locking my convertible (where the roof is never up) is a bit of a joke. 😂
