Final post of PillartoPost.org's year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Art Deco Movement
It’s a GMC.
More precisely, it’s a 1930s GMC light-duty truck, built by General Motors Truck Company.
What can we learn from the image:
• The grille badge reads “GMC TRUCKS”, which was GMC’s standard branding in the mid-to-late 1930s.
• The horizontal grille bars and rounded hood profile match GMC styling from roughly 1937–1939.
• The overall body and cab design align with GMC’s streamlined commercial trucks rather than Chevrolet’s slightly more utilitarian variants of the same era.
* The lettering on the door—J. Kornely Hardware Co.—is the owner’s business, not the manufacturer.
So the clean identification is: GMC (General Motors Truck Company), late 1930s. A working truck, but very much a product of Detroit’s Art Deco–era design confidence.
