Stk. 1187 1950 Chevrolet Pick-Up It's called "Show Tie", of course referring to the famous Chevrolet bow tie emblem, but Showtime is what this grand creation is all about. Planned for a number of years, this 1950 Chevy 5-window truck took four years to complete to the highest of standards and only the finest materials, components, and craftsmen were used from start to finish. The cost to construct this truly one of a kind masterpiece was just shy of $200,000 and the experts who have viewed it agree it is the best of the best. Having appeared in only 3 major shows since it was finished in October '07, it won Mequiars Magnificent Masterpiece and Rod & Custom Magazine Top Ten in 2007. In the ISCA World of Wheels in Atlanta, GA '08, it won Classic Truck Magazine "Smooth & In the Groove" award, Best in Class, and Best Truck of Show. It's latest appearance came in Richmond, VA '08 at the Super Chevy Show where it was crowned Super Chevy Magazine Editor's Choice, as well as Best in Class and Best Truck of Show.
