New 55 T-Birds on a 'Convoy Auto Haulage'
truck.

Shot on Jan 20, 1955 in Detroit Michigan
with a load of new Thunderbirds. The C.O.E.
tractor is an 'in house' custom-built rig, built
by Convoy, utilizing a Ford cab and other
components. Convoy built several in the early
1950's and they worked into the 1960's.

Before GM built coe's in house, aftermarket

conversion. The semi-enclosed 'streamlined'
trailer was made by 'Whitehead & Kales'.
