Daily Pick: 1948 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup
We at The Wall Street Journal Love features stories about vehicles restored as sentimental artifacts of family history. Back in August we discussed an Acura that I restored in memory of my friend's mother who passed away. I came across a similar story, except this one was about a truck that had been repaired for its owner, who was still able to drive and enjoy it despite having some health issues.

Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
Remember the cartoon The comic strip "Motley's Crew"? The name comes from a phrase about a colorful group of people, and a certain heavy metal band borrowed the name, although it was also somewhat inspired by Slade. This week's AutoHunter picks include a wide variety of vehicles, both vintage and modern, but if you can't wrap your head around the idea that a modern car is 23 years old, you're not alone. Which one will you pick? 1956 Chevrolet 3100 StepsideLast week I wrote about a '56 Stepside listed on AutoHunter. It was lightly modified with a small block 350 and stock configuration, and then there was this stock example that perfectly showcased GM's prowess in that era. Who would have thought practicality could be so beautiful? I wonder if the Italians paid as much attention to this as they did to everything else Harley Earl did. This 1956 3100 Stepside was restored from the ground up and painted in…

Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
A little ashamed I realized that this week's AutoHunter picks are two of the most popular brands in the world: Chevrolet and Volkswagen. Both brands were born during the glory days of the mid-1950s, when America seemed unimpeachable. And, I don't think you can go wrong with any of these. Prefer a Corvette? We have two, both new and old. Need practicality? The Chevy truck below shows off the talents of Harley Earl's team, with a bed in the back. And a German van that looks like grandma lives in it and never had an interior designer come to her house. Which one do you prefer? 1971 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 454When I was still learning about cars, low-compression 1971s were looked down upon. Some cars, like Pontiac's 455 HO, later became famous for beating heavy machinery, but it took a while for other low-compression performance cars to catch up.
