Looks to be a 1937 GMC panel truck. http://www.rasloto.com/gallery/chevy/37gmc-5175.jpg -- Last edit: 2007-12-23 00:02:35 |

Did the business name "Acme" have common usage before being used as the typical business name in the Looney Tunes cartoons? Or was it always used as a fake business name by Hollywood? |

Seems, so. Wikipedia lists a variety of businesses, including an Pennsylvania automaker at the turn of the century. A post-war aviation company used the name as an acronym Air Craft Marine Engineering. Acme (Greek: ακμή, the peak, zenith, prime) denotes the best of something [ http://www.wikepedia.org ] |

Agree , 1937 GMC 1/2 ton panel van on the 112 inch wheelbase chassis. |
