The 3rd car down is the mid 70's Mustang 2. About as popular as the Micra.

Keep in mind that here in the states it is common for tractors to be pulling two trailers. There are some states that allow three! Let me tell you, having passed one of those behemoths in Colorado, it's UNNERVING as three trailers have a tendency to weave like a snake!!!! Also, it takes a LOOONNNNNGGGGG time to get around a hundred feet or more of semi!!!!




Don't forget the Road Trains of Australia. 4 or more trailers aren't uncommon.






And for the record of longest road train....

I wanna see him blind back that road train into a loading dock in Chicago or some other metropolitan city.


That third picture after the rare red X is a 1965 Galaxie 500 priced from $2950.

I didn't forget them. I just don't live there and he did ask why ours were big. I would HATE to have to try and pass one of those road trains though. Those things are CRAZY long!

German guy I worked with on the airfield was talking about the big trucks... Said he likes American ones way better than the Euro ones due to the engine being out front.

He told me about that Scania, but said it's ugly... and he's right!

Those trucks are the "classic" ones. They nearly look identical to the ones 25-30 years ago, but have new engines and stuff.

This are "newer" trucks from the States:
Peterbilt 307:


Kenworth T660:

Forida and Georgia (among others probably) have been putting the state website (MyFlorida.com and Georgia.com respectively) on their plates in the past few years.

What do you mean by "do whatever"? Like could you spray paint it tie-dye or cut out flames in the metal?
