Not only are Marmon trucks incredibly rare, but owners as knowledgeable as Chris “Mr. Flatbed Red” Budke are rarity personified.
Chris’ affinity for vintage iron goes back to his childhood and being a lifetime member and ambassador of the American Truck Historical Society (A.T.H.S.), Chris can talk trucks, trucking, trucker culture, and truck specs better than most.
In this episode Chris takes us on a full tour of his 1987 Marmon 57P HR, gives some in-depth history of the Marmon Truck Company, and traces the past lives that his truck has lived through the years.
If you don’t already know Chris or his wife “Miss Flatbed Red” from the ATHS, you should go give them a follow on social media.
Miss Flatbed Red is an extremely talented artist specializing in truck art. She’s also a RU-vidr and you should go subscribe to her channel here ⬇️
