Jet Black GMC Syclone

StreetsideClassics

Back in 1991, the GMC Syclone became a high-performance rendition of the Sonoma and quickly elevated to the fastest stock pickup truck in production. Equipped with a six-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive the vehicle had good performance for the truck market. Although the unit was only available for purchase in jet black, they were intended to be sold in a wide variety of colors for future years; however, the model was discontinued. Today some skeptics are not favorable of the Syclone model. However, the value of the vehicle on the market is debatably important.

Last but not least was the first commercial vehicle back to the market after WWII

Post World War II, Chevrolet made a big statement in the truck industry by releasing the first commercial line of vehicles back into the market. As a summer vehicle, the 1947 Chevy 3100 became a staple to truck enthusiasts with an attractive design and a statement in auto history. After the war, truck dies required an update seeing as truck production had continued throughout the war, wearing down the average design. Since majority cars were discontinued, it made sense to remodel trucks first and restore car models after. This left companies with larger cabs that were more comfortable and a fresh new look.
