Corbitt trucks were built in Henderson, North Carolina from 1910 until 1953. Some trucks that were built in that final year were registered as 1954's.



Corbutt bought outdated sheet metal from Auburn in the mid-1930's to build trucks like the one above.


This truck was called the Star of the South. This is the only one built.

The Santa's Village in Arrowhead, my folks took me there when I was a kid and a few decades later I took my kids. Closed in the late 90's, recently bought and is being restored. Supposed to re-open this year I think?
I don't know if this pic is from the Arrowhead Village or the one in Scotts Valley? I think they both looked the same.

 

I like their service station myself.

 

This little piggy went to market...

 

WOW... those vintage shots of Road America are super cool. Is it me, or does the pace car look like a T-track roadster? Gary

 

Star of the South looks similar to the twin Engine Ford Truck Tractors built for hauling during the war, from memory they hauled bomber wings in really long trailers, could go at pretty good clip with two Merc engines side by side, a little more if interested..http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2010/03/09/march-military-campaign-double-the-flathead-fun/....
