Now here's something you don';t see everyday... A cabover US car transporter but what's that strange looking prime mover up front... Can you guess (for a pie) what it is? And another...
...One. Featuring the famous 'Dan's Deals on Wheels.' Now click through here for more car transporters ancient and modern and one that's gone to blazes (literally)...
And I have Gary 'Two Hat's and one dodgy pin' Richards to thank for this lot. Vintage section starts above with this 1940s Ford hauler with car and trucks...
From two years earlier and this time it's a Dodge....
.
getting a bit colder too...chewing tobacco anyone? And what's the truck (for a plug)...
Definitely getting a bit more rough and ready...
This one's just gone to blazes....'My LOVELY car!!!!'
Everything's well enclosed on this Pete...
And as it's GR we have to have a Mack....with AMCs on the back you you can guess how old this shot it...!
Aussie roadtrain with three trailers...
And if it wasn't for the cars on the back you'd never know it was a transporter at all...and my thanks to old 'Hobbale-along'...
the car at the front on the aussie one looks just like a vauxhall omega estate its probably a holden
Is the second one a Pierce?
Hi BLB: Top two are surely Freightliners with special low cabs...1970s maybe?
The baby-puke yellow transporter has an early Freightliner cab on it.
The top 2 are both Freightliners, or maybe a White Freightliner in the case of the truck in the top photo
Can anybody count the cars loaded on the truck (second last picture) ?
I like to leave comment on the 1st picture car carrier with the strange looking prime mover. That is what we call a cab forward, primarily used for garbage (rubbish tip) trucks. It was a fairly common car carrier configuration in the 1990's used to maximize load capacity over the prime mover with larger vehicles such as pickup (ute) and SUV's.
