Chevrolet Cameo
In the 1950s, thinking of a pickup as anything more than a bare-bones workhorse was a radical idea. But in 1955, Chevy introduced the Cameo Carrier, a beautifully styled, fast, comfortable pickup designed not just for work, but to be driven and enjoyed. It was distinguished from any truck on the market by things such as full-hubcaps, chrome trim, carpeting and a radio, a slab-sided bed, and powerful engine options. But the Cameo was doomed by a high price and increasing competition despite strong initial sales, and it was gone after 1958.
