Chevy-lovin’ FB page celebrates GM trucks that meld modern flair and classic cool. 

Recently, we were busy wasting some time on Facebook, scrolling through posts of friends’ random selfies and emoji-slathered shots of scantily-clad reality TV stars. Suddenly, our boredom was interrupted. There on screen was something truly stunning, even if it did feature models over 30 and looking a little crusty. The Facebook page @Patina Chevy Trucks is a nicely packaged, user-generated presentation of photos and videos featuring, you guessed it, Chevy and GMC trucks that have a patina finish.

“No trailer queens on this site,” promises Patina Chevy Trucks. And they ain’t kidding. There’s more badass beasts than pretentious beauties on this page, and that’s its best thing about it. “Flaws” are welcome, and every body type is celebrated.

 

‘No trailer queens on this site.’

 

The FB page shows off lots of vintage, working vehicles that may not look perfect to the average joe but are pure perfection to us. Those rare rides are also appreciated by the 30,000-plus fans that have liked the FB page since it debuted in 2015. Patina Chevy Trucks is also growing its online reach as a spot for users to buy and sell hard-to-find-parts for Chevy and GMC trucks.

Patina Chevy Trucks‘ eclectic content includes artful images by pro photographers and shared pictures from various auto enthusiast websites. The real stars of the show, however, are the spontaneous, captured-on-the-road shots from across the country. Sure, some of these Chevys have funky finishes. Others sport mismatched panels that make them resemble rolling Rubik’s Cubes. But they’re all also rare rides that you don’t see every day. And you likely won’t forget them any time soon either.
