I worked at Freightliner when the Century Class aka Century Smash. Anyway ya everyone at the dealership came out to look at it when we got our first one. I mean everyone parts guys of course sales guys and all us mechanics. It was almost the same when we got a Classic XL. I remember it like it was yesterday it was green. I'm not big on green but let me tell you it was like nothing else you have ever seen. All the extras were insane. The seats were like the best couch you have ever sat on. They were the same as the ones that came in the Silver Areo's. Sure don't see many of them anymore. They had what was called a basement so you could stand up. This was before all the raised roof intregal trucks. Anyway cool little series you got here 👍🇨🇦🔧
The mid 90's - early 00's trucks are still my favorite today. Not a lot of people seem to care for them now, But i just really like their smooth, Yet not too smooth, And simpler design.
i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
I am 51 now when I was growing up my dad had cabovers. He was a food hauler. He got rid of his mack mh ultra liner in 1995..And even back then the cabovers were die ing out.
Liking this a lot, wish my health had held and I could of put a few more on my trip ticket to heaven. Driving came natural after a few changes at home put me looking for one and the ex and her new guy were snug as a bug in the home I left which I built with my own two hands. Loud cowboy music and some tears later I had a million miles on me and she wants me back, I just kept on trucking
@@franceliakarle_1 Holding my own... but then most men are that away... yeah taking naps like a school boy and then wonder why can't sleep at night.... hows yourself
I really liked the sterlings particularly the 9500 A Liner it is my understanding that Sterling production ended in March 2009 that’s a shame Freightliner chose to do that
I had the brochures for the Freightliner XL classic & the 387 In blue color back in the day I think I might still have them too i also went to TEC of cal mack dealer around that time i was young but saw and brand new red and yellow vision over there
I went from a Classic with a Cat 550 to a Columbia with a 470 Mercedes biggest piece of crap I drove from Freightliner I complained about that truck so much to my boss that he purchased a Western Star with a 525 60 series that was one of the nicest trucks I drove around that time period.
Lawrence Magda my father went from 99 Volvo VNL860, to new 07 Columbia with 470 Mercedes with 12 speed Smart shift he drove it for 600,000 miles before needed heart operation that truck only had two issues, Damn Belts loved to self destruct and turbo blew at 250k but after that It was only belts like every 50k-100k belt blew , after his recovery the company he worked for put him into another Columbia and the smart shift wouldn’t shift, turbo blew twice. They rebuilt the trans it still wouldn’t shift. So they put him into 386 C13 425hp, 13 speed 700,000 miles with a faulty power steering rack🤣
Thanks ! Itll be for sale soon. Lights come with it lol along with refrigerator, microwave, 32" tv and big watt inverter. Its 18 speed with deleted 14L Detroit with a jake brake loud enough to get you in trouble lol
🤣👍..Hi Guys i Think the speaking Lady is at the Last Minute in this Video to se her,well its just speculation For better Information i would like to say thanxx guys from Germany 🚛🚛🚛🌞🌞🌞
How come y’all never talked about the Mack RD-600’s & 800’s or the Mack DM-600’s & 800’s, or The Autocar Vocational trucks I’m just wondering because around where I’m from and live those trucks are still running the roads everyday from the 70’s models to 90’s models even newer but I was just wondering why those weren’t talked about
It was so ugly. Man those and the bloated Peterbilts. Man to be honest all those aero trucks including those fat centurys and columbias were ugly. My favorites are Classic XL Peterbilt 359 amd 379, W900, T600, Peterbilt 377, and the International Eagles
The first sterlings in the 90's were built by ford. I owned one. Said ford on title. The freightliner one's were not nearly as good. Owned one of those too.
If someone Talks about Beautyness of Trucks he or she for sure is talking about American Trucks! It's a Pitty that American Names "got lost" like INTERNATIONAL OR WHITE OR BROCKWAY. The Goverment is aked to keep American Companies on top!!! Altough I'm German I Love US trucks since I'm a kid! Best Trucks on Earth🇺🇸🎱♠️🖤🎰And one Thing more after reading the comments "MERCEDES BENZ HAS NO FANS"(That incloudes me) -I started with Mercedes in 1994....Wosn't that good!
@@franceliakarle_1 Hi, Thank You for asking how I'm doin. I'm Not very Well, I got Health Problems and my Life isn't "running" at the Moment.

I'm surprised you didn't mention that the kw and the Peter built were designed by the same guy that designed the ram pick up and later was sued for it. Fyi the kw was called a ram on steroids and the Peter built was now as the Japanese pete...js
90's were the last of the good ole days! Great video!
Jeah-Your right! It's sad but true.
