NMP. I think this American Corbitt truck is pretty high on the ugly list. The interesting thing is a company in North Carolina bought some with Gardner engines because the owner liked them but the drivers complained that they couldn’t keep them ‘wound up’.

I suppose this was an early answer to the aerofoil problem, that must have been pretty slippy with a van trailer, but as neither it and the other tall one you pictured, were sleeper cabs, perhaps not long distance motors. Trying to think when sleeper cabs became the norm in N. America, a long way sooner than in the UK, that’s for sure. Any date on that Corbitt Remy?

The driver is sitting over the sleeper berth!

Toasty !

Reckon I’d stay with my rabbit hutch Atki, or even the F86 with a plank across behind the seats.
