A little sleuthing in the 1957 Vehicle Information Kit brings up the possibility that your Cameo may actually be the first one built in 1957. The serial number page (attached) indicates that the serial numbers were assigned to trucks without regard to whether it was a pickup or larger truck. That means unless there were two Cameos that came off the line, then yours could actually be Cameo #1. It's a possibility, but you'd have to track down Serial # 100001 and see if it was a Cameo as well or just a standard pickup or 2-ton truck that came off the LA assembly line first.
