This blunt-nose beauty seen in Chapel Hill is like a metaphor for Americana. The Chevrolet Apache half-ton pickup with its iconic curved body lines remains a distinct classic more than 50 years since its introduction. In 1958, the 6-cylinder light duty truck was designed with quad headlamps and wrap-around windshields -- an industry first -- intended to give drivers more visibility. Original price of the base model ran about $2,300 in 1958. Today, upwards of $50,000 in pristine condition.
