Brocky Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) There was a multi page topic on the Nairn Transportation truck busses on the old Just Old Trucks site, but all that info is lost. They ran tractor trailer busses with Marmon Herrington 4X4 and 6X6 tractors between Damascus and Baghdad, across the desert, as well as between other Mid East cities. I have also seen pictures of them in Australia.. I almost think Henry Ford had some running in Detroit during the War?? If Jeff Lakaszcyck checks in he might still have a lot of the Nairn info on his computer?? Edited July 8 by Brocky 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, maybe they were cheap leftovers from NYC? 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Vladislav Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I stockpiled the pics from the thread at the time. Unfortunately no text. Absolutely amazing stuff. And the deal it was used in. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't note the link originally. And now had it read with lot of pleasure. Cool there's a complete history of the entertainment.
