Lot #928 - This 1955 Cameo pickup has undergone a recent frame-off, factory-correct restoration with 700 miles since its completion. In 1955, the Cameo was available in one color combination only, Bombay Ivory and Commercial Red trim, as this example is presented. The Cameo's fiberglass bed sides and tailgate are an offshoot of Corvette design. This truck features a Thriftmaster engine, optional heater, visor and hood ornament. Its original 235ci inline-6 engine was rebuilt during the restoration process and is mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. Many mechanical items on this truck were original and have been restored, including the carburetor, distributor, transmission, differential, master brake cylinder and radiator, which was recored. It has an original-style wiring harness, the wheel cylinders and the stainless-steel trim were replaced, and the original chrome pieces were rechromed. The bed was replaced with original-style yellow pine boards, along with restored and repainted steel strips. It also maintains its original deluxe heater and restored original AM radio.
