This here's damn good. Thanks! Was a long-distance trucker from 1970-1976 and always loved Autocars and Diamond T's. Was a slew of Autocars around here back then. Not now........except for garbage trucks.
It's nice to see that some models haven't really changed in over 70 years. Streamline has it's place in the bottom line, but the long front end of a Peterbilt or Kenworth with that flat radiator grill has always represented to me THE semi-truck standard. Thanks for the video.
3rd generation driver right here!....my daddy drove for 37 years pulling out of Florida to southern California!....I was raised in a single sleeper 359 extended hood......13 speed /9 speed turned around backwards.......mash on that motor driver and let the midnight oil burn!!!!!...........
