It was once said that what was good for General Motors was good for America. And, for the most part that adage has proven true time and again. In the 1950s - when America's love affair with the automobile was at its peak - General Motors was producing automobiles by the hundreds of thousands.
Every mile of highway and back road, city street and country lane seemed to have a Chevy, Cadillac, Oldsmobile or Buick on the road. What kept this wide variety of General Motors models running was an easily available line of motor parts and trained mechanics familiar with those trusty General Motors vehicles. By building and maintaining a reliable parts and service resource, General Motors was able to serve its customers with quick, accurate and excellent automobile maintenance. No matter where the breakdown occured or where the repair was done, the Chevy pick-up would deliver the necessary parts to a trained mechanic to get the car back on the road as quickly as possible.

Now, a 1955 Chevy pick-up truck heads out to a service station with in-line six-cylinder motors and transmissions in its bed. Marked with authentic Genuine Parts and Service graphics, this 1955 Chevy pick-up has been re-created in an authentic replica by Matchbox Collectibles - the greatest name in die-cast.
