Popular Post 57 bcr Posted January 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2016 I remember coming home from high school,and seeing that December '77 OVERDRIVE on the kitchen table,Paul. I really didn't look at the cover right off the bat. I went to the Tractor of the Month feature like always. Then read the article and was floored to say the least about this new Bulldog. Still a head turner,in my book! Al 6 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Mike Blais Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Were those pages still in the magazine or cut out? I ask because with my scanner you would have to squash the mag down hard to get a good scan. Some of the older stuff I have is pretty tender.

Outbehindthebarn Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Never in my life did I think that the "Liner" in Super-Liner could be mistakenly thought of as lifted from the "Liner" in Freight shaker, er, I mean Freightliner.

41chevy Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Were those pages still in the magazine or cut out? I ask because with my scanner you would have to squash the mag down hard to get a good scan. Some of the older stuff I have is pretty tender.The magazines are all intact. The scanner Copier is an IBM my wife bought from the Tauro Law School Library and is made for just this type of thing. The pages fit in an adjustable frame to scan them. If you look you can barely see the "Fold Shadow" on the edges of some of the scans.

Vladislav Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 That's one great article, thank you for sharing that Paul.I can imagine how many folks felt heart beat watching Superliner anounced.And it's nice how they put the picture with the truck larger and larger from the first page to the every next one.Unfortunately I wasn't able to put my hand onto such a magazine in 1977 although I remember very well when I was about 15 my father brang home fresh edition of what called "The USA Automotive Production" magazine with the picture of the almost new to the moment CH model and the article inside. That magazine was black and white Sovied edition based on 2-3 different American magazins to show out modern news, generally for professional use. It used to come out in about 5-6 month later than a month marked on it due to the need of translation to Russian. I could get it to my mail box as any common local magazine and I did for some years. The most only source of American trucks info in SU at that time. I might look in my old papers, might still have some of them. If I find it I'll post some.
