The late 1950s gave us some of the most remarkable classic American vehicles, with the trucks being standout examples. Among these, the 1956 Ford F100 is a personal favorite, but the 1958 Chevrolet Apache 3100 restomod offers a distinctive touch and includes the iconic wrap-around windshield. 1958 was an exceptional year for Chevrolet trucks. The Apache was part of the 1955 to 1959 Task Force series, marking a period when utility vehicles began using V8 engines. It was also first year to introduce four-headlight setup and the final year to feature full chrome front fascia. This particular model caught my …

Vanguard Motors continues to offer some of the most exquisite and impeccably restored classic cars, like this 1956 Ford F100 restomod pickup, which has been both fully customized and beautifully restored.

With that kind of investment, a buyer could purchase a brand-new Porsche 911 with impressive specifications. While the Porsche boasts cutting-edge technology, this classic truck presents an ageless design that is hard to resist. Trucks from the 1950s hold a special place in automotive history, with the F100 standing out as one of …

Do you recall the era when arriving in a Rolls Royce guaranteed all eyes on you? While that might still hold true for some, an increasing number of enthusiasts are driven by a profound desire to personalize these luxurious vehicles to suit their unique tastes. So, while we recently discussed a late 1970s Silver Shadow that underwent a Hellcat swap, the Rolls Royce project we’re diving into today is based on its predecessor, the Silver Cloud from the 1960s—and this one leans more towards ranch utility than showpiece.
