I guess I’ll be the naysayer but i really dislike skirts on any car but ESPECIALLY on trucks. Ugh.

I don't actually like wheel skirts either. I just happen to think the blue truck is a beautiful example of a late '50s mild "hop-up."

I don’t THINK this is Jessica Chastain, is it? If it were and she was my woman, I’D wear a damn skirt if she wanted me to! Lol

That's funny. No, it is not Jessica Chastain. Her name is Jess Jess Jannenga. There is a complete series of pictures of her with the truck located
here.

I only see the one AD pickup to the right that I am comfortable standing up in court and saying "That's and AD Chevy pickup" the others, I think you are right but I couldn't stand up and court and say it. :D

Isn't that wild! The hand drawn stuff back then was everywhere, think about cartoons, thousands upon thousands of drawings to make a cartoon. They were soooo much better than the lame computer created ones now. There are good ones now too, but I can't believe how lame some of the cartoons are that my grandchildren watch! They don't look real they look stupid.

Anyway, how about an AD photo bomb? :D The Volvo is totally beaching too!
