Nicknamed the "Depot Hack," the 1928 Chevy National AB Woody 4-Door Wagon was a forerunner of the station wagon.
The 1936 Canopy Fruit Deilvery Truck was based on the Chevrolet Series FB half-ton pickup truck. In 1936, Chevy registered over 200,000 units for the first time.
Chevy built 345,000 trucks in 1949, inlcuding this Canopy Express Delivery Truck. This body type was used primarily by street vendors to display fruits and vegetables.
This 1956 Chevy pickup features all original parts and can get up to 70 mph.
The 1975 Scottsdale X-Plorer trim was the first step up from the base interior.
Although not as old as some of the other vehicles in its Heritage Fleet, this Silverado was that last one to be built in its series 10 years ago.
This 1926 Chevrolet was primarily used as a workhorse on farms and has an optional crank start.
The 1963 Chevrolet K20 Pickup featured manual hubs and 2-speed manual transfer cases, and was good for off-roading.
