Art deco was a "school of design" of the (roughly) WW1 to WW2 period that was applied to many things - ships, trains, buildings, furniture, jewelry, etc. including Chevrolet trucks.

I know what art deco is, my wife even seeing fit to have some decorative pieces. It's when the term is applied to a truck I get confused.

Oops. Remove foot from mouth.
I suspect the parallel curved chrome grille bars were a large part of what led to the name.
