Come on now, that last one doesn't have an AD in it. That's a Dodge or something. But some cool pics none the less, thanks for posting! I dig these old photos on this thread.

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.

My bad. That's what happens when you let a TF guy play the game.

I see an AD panel, and AD pickup, and an AD box. Did I miss anything?

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.

Not a photo, but I have these old advertisements saved. Crazy how it was all hand-drawn.

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? The Volvo is totally beaching too!

The grill and headlight rings that's it, but it's an AD!

Nice. I like the four-eyes peeking out of the lumber company. Nice touch.

Hopefully it won't be too long before I get back to my truck. Right now, I am overwhelmed big time.

I think some of these assembly line photos have been posted before, but they're just too cool to pass up.
