Art Deco is correct for '41 to '47. I've heard some debate regarding when
that label was first used. Some people claim it was applied later and
others claim to have Chevy marketing info from '40 or '41 using it.
I was born after the last Advance Design truck was built, so I can't speak
from personal experience, all I can do is share what others have told me.

No kidding, I thought the AD was a label put on later in life; I
thought that it stood for "Art Deco".
oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
