Although the standard-line 1955-1956 Chevrolet Series 3100 pickup wasn’t in the class of the Chevrolet Cameo Carrier, it was more stylish than any that had gone before.

The Bronco’s small size riding on a 92-inch (2,337 mm) wheelbase made it popular for off-roading and some other uses, but impractical for such things as towing.

How did its maker treat the 1973-1980 Volkswagen Beetle? “Benign neglect” would describe it well. Volkswagen had seen its future, and the watchwords were water-cooled front-mounted engines and front-wheel drive. That left the air-cooled, rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive Beetle in the lurch. This VW Beetle came in for  a color change on the top and interior. While removing the interior we came to see that the floor pans were almost gone in spots, after reviewing this with the customer we removed and replaced the florr pans as well.
