True, but they are mixed brands and mixed years. Looks like a Classic Car Hauler to me, but if I'm wrong, it won't be the first time, lol.

These photos (and many more here) are some that I posted on Flickr. These two trucks were operated in the 1960's by Automobile Transport Co of Calif. The company was owned by the Hansens of today's Hansen and Adkins. Many of the Nissans sold in the SW were delivered by ATC. Note the old tags and no DOT number. All of the thousands of these photos shot in this spot were shot by Brian Williams and many of the negatives were traded to Rick Manz and Ron Adams. The cars are used, I think they are rental cars.

Big Rig racing was hot for about a 10 year period from 1982 to 1992. I started as a spectator about 1983 at Pocono where top qualifying speed was 122 MPH. During the races they ran laps similar to that. The # 39 KW shown in the poster had a KT Cummins and would pass the 8V92Ts at the end of the front straightaway but the Detroits would repass the KT in the corners . The bulk of the racers at first were the MH long hood GMCs, with a couple of Corbitts, a Brockway,a Mack, KWs ,Petes, Ford LTLs. Shawna Robinson started in a family sponsored KW, but people took notice of her talent and she graduated to a LTL Ford. I talked our company W.W.Williams to sponsor her at the Toledo race so they repainted the hood with the Williams name on it for that race . Eventually rules changes went to 2 axle trucks, and allowed tubular frames with coil-over spring-shock combinations. About that time they put a bonus purse for 6 cylinder engines to entice Cummins, Cat, and Mack power, but most just switched to 6V92Ts instead of the 8V92T, and still won. I have the poster for the last known race which was in Mansfield, Ohio in 1992 on a dirt track . They ran on asphalt tracks mostly but on a hot day the heavy chassis would tear op the track, cause wrecks and ruin the race . Syracuse one mile dirt track at the state fairgrounds was the biggest track they ran on...........other than Atlanta.

Got these out of a 1960 issue of Fleet Owner magazine. Thought I'd share.
