Re: Special Economy Truck?
Interesting old thread. I ran across this ad and did a search since it indicates something called Chevy Special Economy Trucks as if it's a classification. It appears that it was just a marketing classification, haha. I wonder if there is anything at GM heritage, I might do some poking around. Would be cool to hear if anybody has uncovered what the actual specs were for the truck that generated the idea for the ad. The wording of the ad borders on the hilarious. Basically says that the highway mileage is impossible and goes on to throw GMC under the "bus", if you will.
