Next Silverado To Go Retro According To Spy Photo

Chevrolet obviously reached way back into its design archives when it came to styling the next-generation Silverado.

A nearly undisguised test vehicle caught on camera indicates Chevy is drawing heavily from its so-called Advance Design pickups of 1947 – 1955.   

It won’t be the first retro-styled Chevy, of course, as the division’s own Camaro is based on a mid-60’s design.  The automaker is reportedly even changing the name of the Silverado’s base 4.3 liter V-6 from EcoTec to “Thriftmaster.”
