Some history for you of the FIRST Cabover Truck! The Cabover Freightliner.
The Freightliner cabover was the first cabover truck in North America.
1929 - Consolidated Freight Line built one of the very 1st Freightliners.
'41 - The company 'FREIGHTLINER' starts up.
'48 - Freightliner cabovers were made in the state of Oregon, with or without a sleeper.
'50 - White Freightliner makes the Bubble Nose Cabover.
'53 - White Freightliner makes a truck with an over the cab sleeper berth.
'59 - Fiberglass cabovers built.
Early '70's - The PowerLiner, with big grill, big windshield, big rad to cool a big engine! The ultimate heavy haul truck at the time.
Due to length laws not being so stringent, the cabover's long lived popularity starts to decline. Truckers started seeking out the long hood, conventional style of trucks.
Check out the video for some rare Cabover Freightliner photos, some great nostalgia and a great cabover story!
