Chevrolet introduced the Cameo Pickup in 1955. The truck was a light duty ½ ton truck that featured car-like styling and features. It’s considered a turning point in the pickup market, as this was the first time the once utilitarian pickup featured consumer amenities. The 1956 Chevrolet Cameo featured minor styling changes and was offered in eight two-tone color combinations. One source reports Chevrolet produced 1,452 examples of the Cameo truck in 1956.

This 1956 Chevrolet Cameo has been cosmetically restored to its current appearance in red with white rear cab pillars. This car is powered by a 283-cid V-8 engine which is paired to an automatic transmission. Power equipment on the car includes power steering and disc brakes. The car rides on wide whitewall tires with full factory wheel covers. The interior of the car is completed in red featuring a bench seat with seatbelts and a radio. Exterior features on the car include accenting brightwork throughout the vehicle, dual sideview mirrors, a wood slat bed, tonneau bed cover and dual exhaust.
