darrync aka Artmam, great stuff !

I just found out the Tanker in the Henry Ford Museum dosent have a engine in it, its interesting when ya look into it,that the world all knows about 'our' one ,its staying in Invercargil or Big Jon will get ya !

 

What a neat tanker that is.
There is a guy near-by that has three huge buildings full of restored trucks, but he doesn't have one of those......yet anyway.
Check this site for some neat truck pics. http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/trucks.htm

 

Thats some site Bob ,lots of links ,I would think most collectors would want/need a Airflow to add to their collection

 

Nice and like that even after his death it's staying where he wished. Great post
