Re: Stupidest question ever...
It means "Advance Design" which is directed at the Chevy trucks from 1947-2nd seriess to 1955-1st series. The 2nd and 1st series are references to mid year model changes.
The 1947-55 GMC trucks were actually called "New Design" but that name is not commenly used and just called Advanced Design. http://www.1954advance-design.com/A-D_factoids/ Last edited by Atomsplitter; 12-01-2009 at 05:34 PM. |

Re: Stupidest question ever...
Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D., sometimes found in the irregular form Anno Domine) and Before Christ (abbreviated as BC or B.C.) are designations used to number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The calendar era to which they refer is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus, with AD denoting years after the start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of this epoch. There is no year zero in this scheme, so the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC.

Re: Stupidest question ever...
In 47/48 it was bannered in all of their truck adds. At least in the ones that I have seen.
