Smithfield Classic Cars and Auto Sales

Smithfield Classic Cars and Auto Sales is a small independent dealer at 278 Douglas Pike in Smithfield, Rhode Island, just northwest of Providence. Its stock leans toward classic American pickups, mainly 1950s and 1960s Ford F-100s and Chevrolet 3100 and 3200 trucks, with a few cars and utility vehicles mixed in. It is a retail lot selling vehicles it holds, not a consignment house.

What the dealer sells

The dealer's ClassicCars.com page showed six vehicles when we looked in November 2026, and five of them were trucks or truck-based: a 1956 Chevrolet 3100 pickup listed at $74,995, a 1956 Chevrolet 3200 stepside listed at $34,900, a 1972 Ford F-100 at $14,900, a 1967 Ford Ranchero at $26,900 and a 1962 Studebaker Champ pickup at $14,900. The sixth was a 1973 Plymouth Road Runner at $29,900. Earlier listings and sold notices on the same site show a steady run of 1950s and 1960s Ford F-100s, including a resto-mod 1956 example and a patina-finish 1960 truck, plus a 1959 Ford panel truck marked sold.

Prices cover a wide span, from driver-grade trucks in the mid teens to a frame-off restored 1956 Chevrolet at the top of the range. Third-party dealer aggregators have counted roughly a dozen vehicles in stock at a time, with a median asking price near $16,000, though counts move as trucks sell.

How buying works

This is a standard dealer sale. The dealer's listing text says it accepts trade-ins, is available for test drives and charges a documentation fee. Because each truck sits on the lot in Smithfield, buyers can see it in person, and a local visit is the simplest way to judge a restoration. For anyone buying from out of state, our guide to buying a classic car from a dealer covers the paperwork and the independent inspection worth arranging before money changes hands.

Classic pickups are easy to overpay for, because a fresh paint job can hide rust in cab corners, bed floors and rocker areas. Ask for photos of the frame and underside, any restoration records, and the title status of the specific truck.

Business details

Rhode Island Secretary of State records found in search results list the business as Smithfield Classic Cars and Auto Sales, LLC at the Douglas Pike address, and the same address appears on its vehicle listings. The sources reviewed did not publish an owner name or a founding year, so none is given here. The dealer's own website, smithfieldclassiccars.com, would not load when we tried it, so the details on this page come from its marketplace listings and public directories rather than from the site itself.

Reputation

We did not find a verified review count on a platform we could open, so no rating is quoted here. As with any dealer, judge the business on the specific truck in front of you: verify the VIN against the title, compare the asking price with recent sales of similar trucks and have a mechanic look it over.
