Prob a lot of these drivers were former freight wagon teamsters.. these old trucks were a luxery to them.. real men..!

I just came across this and wondered if my brother's Plymoth Duster that he totalled in 75/76 is there? I don't know where they towed it to. He put a guardrail through the passenger side.

Grandpa said these were not the easiest trucks to operate, he was working for the lumber mill after WWl Imagine, may have been old to us but very clever, 90% of innovation was already there

As a local to the area seeing a lot of local faces. A lot younger faces and people that are missed. such a fun show to go to even to this day! Always a reunion of friends!

@3:53 I do believe that guy is all chromed up under the hood.

Thats not a stepdown Hudson . It's a bathtub Nash.

I wish to God I'd seen this when it was new!! I've been looking for another '63 660 wagon for over 30 years, and there were several here!.(just how my luck runs). Any chance these are still there?

'Pan American #1' show car also has the 1955-1956 dash.

Idk why but this gives me joy!

Cool stuff, glad it was saved.

Neeto!

My family had three wagons, all Chevies, 55, 57 and 59. Later, my dad had 59 Ford Ranch wagon. I have owned a 06 HHR, presently a restored 84 Olds Custom Cruiser and my daily driver is an 18 Buick Regal TourX.

Wow,no comments,well sir we here in Ontario used to go many times...thanks Will!.

No matter how good you are, it’s lm possible to compete against overwhelming money! Never before and never never again!

Tougher men back then for sure

That's awesome great video thanks for sharing. The truck has came a long way. I like the old school truck it was Simple

And there was no biden. Anywhere

Those guys figured it all out long before we did.

Show video 👍😎🇧🇷

Before the Motor Law, people operated those trucks. They were powered by internal combustion of petrol. It's said they made an oddly pleasant sound.

I've often thought of how much they were able to get done back then with so much less. Everything was small, trucks and trailers, heavy equipment. Heck, even the plates people ate from were small.

Makes my Cabover seem like a modern marvel 😂

All of the people in this video are dead.

The long haul freight went by train then. These would work from train yard warehouses to delivery. Chain drive Mack at 5:13

we're is the turbo Diesel????

awesome

Фильму лет 100, а концепция седельного тягача и полуприцепа осталась неизменной. Я сейчас такой же трал таскаю, чуть длиньше, чуть шире и осей сзади три. И кузовочек имеется, и сходни сзади. Только система автоматического расцепа в России не нашла своего признания. На части тягачей из Америки такая функция есть, но мало кто пользуется.

A great number of tractors such as these as well as straight trucks were on the road during WW2. I remember seeing 2-3 chained together in order to climb the mountains with heavy loads and low horsepower. The open cab configuration was not a rarity, during winter the drivers would look three times their size due too extra clothing. Some brand names I remember, Autocar, Fageol ,Mack, Oshkosh and Packard .

Cool video, Armstrong steering at its best. The Lapeer Trailer Company was in business from 1919-1928, then became the Lapeer Trailer Corporation on July 1, 1928, which was a division of Trailer Company of America until 1932.

I still have original VHS version of this video.

Looks like the first 5th wheel hitch.

And thats why its called "landing gear" to this day

friend of mine has a '37 business coupe ,, what a ride,

those tires probably never went flat

Imagine driving an open air cab truck on tje highways today?

Ai o capeta chegou pra deus e pediu. Posso inventar alguma coisa. Ai Deus respondeu que podia. Ai ele inventou essa coisa. Kkkkkkk^

Nice video and a thumbs up.

Nice that you have that video?

That’s the first time I’ve seen automatic landing gear. Today I can understand why they did away with it. Seems drivers need an incentive to not be lazy. it’s not that I’m just some nobody being judgmental,I am a driver. Also, it’s too easy for equipment to break down. That would leave a lot of trailers unretrievable.

I sure miss that swap meet.

wow. what a gem.

How about chains hanging down to touch the road from petroleum trucks?

The trailers are actually pretty cool. I like the self-retracting landing gear. I get really tired of wrestling with landing gear cranks on modern semis, haha.

That first truck was an asphalt distributor. I did road paving for a couple years in the 2000s. The technology has not really changed much since this video.

Solid rubber tires and little to no suspension!! Yes! I like to drive one 11 hours a day!!

Didn't see anyone wearing flip flops.

Great guide!
