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.
The same basic design family was used for all of its trucks including the Suburban, panel trucks, canopy express, and cab overs. The cab overs used the same basic cab configuration and similar grille but used a shorter and taller hood and different fenders. The unique Cab Over fenders and hood required a custom cowl area which makes the Cab Over Engine cabs and normal truck cabs incompatible with one another while all truck cabs of all weights interchange.
From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States, with rebranded versions sold at GMC locations.
While General Motors used this front end sheet metal, and to a slightly lesser extent the cab, on all of its trucks except for the Cab Overs, there are three main sizes of this truck: the half-, three-quarter-, and full ton capacities in short and long wheelbase. The Gardens at Hippley Village is a private garden located in the northern edge of the City of Columbiana, Ohio. The garden, located on a 3 acre parcel off of Stanton Avenue, features 8 gardens and 8 water features. The gardens have hosted weddings, wedding showers and receptions. The garden is operated and funded by The Hippley Foundation. A non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status. Many visitors to the garden find it to be a worthwhile stop when visiting the quaint little town of Columiana. In 1999 the first garden was constructed. A train garden that features a miniature grist mill. Several varieties of crop sedums and other ground covers along with numerous species of miniature plants help to compliment the move than 25 miniature buildings in the “tiny village”. After a 9-year hiatus, the garden began to expand in 2008 with the addition of a tiny stone potting shed imported from England. Since 2008, an additional 6 gardens have been added to the complex along with a small 20×48 indoor pavilion. Wikipedia
