Olive I am glad you are enjoying the book as Paul surely will. Rob Good Deal on the arrival of your Western Tin. You really put the wheels in motion on delivery. Joe D.

I didn't think the LIE would ever get past Edwards Ave or I would've pee'd on the proposed route.

The first banana company my Dad drove for had a 190 with the headlights as an integral part of the fender. I never woulda thunk that truck was newer than a '64.

Wonder what became of Tarheel Banana Co? Used to see them all up and down the east coast. Still ran a bunch (get it- bunch? like a bunch of bananas?) of older Autocars in the 80's.

Wow! I used to see the Autocars quite a bit in the mid 70's, usually at Port Newark. The drivers I'd seen had quite a few years on them too as I recall. I've spotted Tar Heel trucks as recently as 5 years ago. They had Pete 377's (still old, still red) as tractors and were pulling Dole cans, presumably out of Wilmington, DE. I passed them heading south on 301 in either MD or DE-saving bridge tolls on 95 I guess.
