sleeper cab 1917-1950

Willeme (Pierre Leboulanger‎)

Diamond T (Linda Baird DeFee)

GMC 1939 (Michael Brake)

Chevrolet (Lansdale Historical Society)

International 1935 (Doug Taylor‎)

Inter C series, 1934 to 1936. The text says 4 to 5 ton but the axles look much heavier than that. They were available from 3/4 ton C1 to 15 ton C60 with tandem drive. Would have been a cool streamlined semi in its day.

Volvo LV 290 1940 (Georges Bezingie)

Often notice on quite a few of these European conventional trucks, the what appears to be abnomal set back of the front axles. Must have taken a bit of getting used to, probably handy when trying to manouver around tight city streets, may also have had something to do with weights over the front? Reckon I’d need a couple of those “flagpoles” they used to weld to the outsides of the bumper bars, don’t see them much anymore. Drove a Bedford bus once, twin steer, single drive, that was a handful until became familiar with it

The Thornycroft Nippy of about 1949 that I sold last year had a long front overhang. The bellhousing was over the front axle.

The twin-steer Bedford would have been a VAM model.
