I've wondered this myself. In their day the Harley Davidson "Knuckle Head", "Pan Head" and "ShovelHead" motors were not refered to by these names when new but gained their nicknames years later. I suspect it's much the same with the Art Deco lable for 40's Chevy trucks and it seems as though the phrase art deco while not new first started to get tossed around alot in the 1980's as a popular buzz phrase in reference to art and design Items from the 30's and 40's but so far I have had no way to substantiate this.
