1936 Chevrolet Canopy Express

Canopy Express was based on Chevrolet’s popular FB- series half ton pickup truck with the optional canvas canopy top and side drop-curtains, which were sold through Chevrolet dealers. Popular options found on this truck include a side-mount spare tire, rear bumper and a right-hand taillight. New standard features introduced to Chevy trucks for 1936 included hydraulic brakes, an all-steel cab and a revamped dashboard that more closely resembled those found in Chevy automobiles of the era. In 1936, annual new truck registrations topped 200,000 units for the first time in company history.

Engine: 206.8 CID Inline 6-cylinder, 79 horsepower
