"Bless Your Heart, Honey"? From Chevrolet?

Once again, there is nothing like advertising to show how society changes. I found this Chevrolet ad on Vintage Ads. Based on the car's design, I'm guessing this ad ran in the late 1940's, probably between 1946-1948. Putting aside the premise of marketing cars to women as a fashion accessory, I really like the ad's design.
