...there's nothing smarter looking than a fuel company fleet truck in a period pic, or in later life restored and returned to her working days livery....full drive mudguards, impressive tanker trailers or bodies, company motiffs and adornments..(who could forget the shell oil co shell above the 'screen) etc etc.....the same applies to the early linehaul jiggers

...there are plenty of these old rig still around, thankfully some are in good hands, and these fleet style trucks will be the ones that will impress at shows and events in times to come.....

Ipswich rd Rocklea is their address at the time Jimmy, the yard is still pretty unchanged even today. Maybe they used that trading name?

do your google search Jimmy and see what comes up as the corporation or corporate entity that owns the name...''Brown and Hurley'' .... therein may lay the reason

Had to laugh "Unsurpassed driver comfort"
This is not advertising exaggeration it is an outright lie!
