Hey PackRat, I've Got A Question

Susan, your age is showing, dear. That Freightliner is red, not white.

An older cabover passed me on the PA Turnpike yesterday; he had a large air filter mounted on the platform between the cab and the trailer. Definitely did not appear to be stock. I was thinking that guys driving those must love to wrench on their trucks.

Pete has concern for Susan...

Susan, your age is showing, dear. That Freightliner is red, not white.

Oh Susan’s age is just fine, faculties intact.

Pete...take a close look at the name plate directly above the grill and notice the word “White” above the word “Freightliner”.

The Freightliner brand was once manufactured and distributed by the White Motor Company in an agreement with Consolidated Freightways (CF).

Here is the Wiki history of the Freightliner brand...

The History of Freightliner

Quite a story, I think.

Here's a 76 KW the owner of "Wooden Shoes Trucking" out of Poquoson, VA is in the process of restoring.
