other dog Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 The B model and trailer reminds me of the one in PA at Chalmers place. Looks like it was driven there and parked.One of our former drivers told me about some place in Pa. that he passed by and saw some old trucks and said the exact same thing- "they look like they were driven there and parked".He said one was a B-model hooked to an old reefer- that could be where he was talking about.I searched google earth for a long time looking where he thought he saw them. I did find a B-model but he said that wasn't the one he saw. I'll see if I marked the spot on google earth. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mackdaddy Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I was coming back from visiting Gettysburg with the family heading to Pittsburgh for our flight home. I hit the brakes and did a U turn. Nobody was home though but I did get some pics. There were a few trucks in the garage too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been driving a VW diesel rabbit that would fit right in thereGood cars! my late uncle had one (diesel rabbit) tried to sell it to me,but i passed cause i thought it was too small,kinda wish i hada bought it now,he was getting 50/60 mpg (was a stick shift)but,you know what they say about hindsight!................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Rob Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Only drawback to those diesel rabbit cars was that a moderate headwind would knock your mileage down into the high 20's as you struggled to maintain 50mph! The turbocharged variants would do much better but the natural engines didn't like to get out of their own way.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I remember on the dash it said Inernational Roadliner, the only thing I didn't like about them is that you almost sat on the floor!Ernie DS....PS the guy who owned those truck's was I Spiegel Trucking in Harrison NJ, Thats the same guy that I was tellin you about that had all of those 359 APA Brockway's an the MB 400's stright trucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Can't believe I didn't pin the location on that truck I saw on google earth. Did see an old Autocar on rt. 16 in Pa. that I pinned. The b-model I saw was white with a red stripe around it. I also saw the same truck on a youtube video about old trucks.I'm going to google 5630 Lincoln Highway now- the no. on the building in the picture is 5630, and if you were coming from Gettysburg you were probably on 30, eh?

mackdaddy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The owner advertises or did in the Double Clutch. John Chalmers. and I think you are correct about the hwy as I was below the turnpike and then went North to catch it into Pittsburgh.
