I'm sure one of you have the answers for her...Thanks and T/C Steve | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | 292,202 total Chevrolet trucks built in 1954. I think that someone posted small/medium-duty (1/2 ton through 1 ton) truck productions numbers and large truck production numbers for Advance-Design years, but I have never see a break-down by models for any Advance-Design year.

Mine is named after Emma Peel of the Avengers TV show...I guess that proves its a "girl thing"!

She named the truck Emma because she said that's the name that fits the truck just right! Gotta love those girl things!

Seeing as all these Emmas are chick trucks, do they have automatics in 'em, too? <covers head, cringes>
No, really. I'm interested, in a clinical way.

The truck is a SHE named "Lucille" and SHE is a good ole 3-speed!! Named her Lucille because shes a redhead!! Of course my wife doesn't know how to drive her....but I SURE DO!!! BTW, isn't it normal to talk about your truck like; "She's a beauty!"...or..."She's running really good!"...or..."She's getting a tune-up!"?? I wouldn't want to call my truck "Bob" or "Bill"...what say you??

Now I don't think you'd want to call a lady truck something inappropriate when it hurts you when you're working on it, would you! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | My wife named my truck Jezebel since I was spending more time under the truck than her when I first got it.

I loved showing the truck to the 20-30 year old guys at work who had never seen a starter on the floor before...or a manual choke.... | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | Both my '54 and Gabriela's '54 are 4 speeds & both have boys names- Jack (after our dog) and Neeshka (for her cat). It's nice to see there are a few more girls around | | |
