Miss Susie

 


I'm not quite as old as this truck but she might be in better shape. LOL  Photographer @mozarts_ride has this to say about my namesake:

1949-50 Chevy 3100 Pickup... I spotted "Miss Susie" while driving through Nelson, Nevada. She's in pretty good shape and if someone had the time and money, she just might roll down the road again.. 😎 This style of Chevy truck was known as the Advance Design.... "The Advance-Design is a light and medium duty truck series by Chevrolet, their first major redesign after WWII. Its GMC counterpart was the GMC New Design. It was billed as a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series. First available on Saturday, June 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 25, 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the Advance-Design model.".... (Wikipedia, "Chevrolet Advance Design").... Now you know the rest of the story...
