    When WesternStar was moved to Portland OR, it was to the Freightliner truck plant, because Freightliners parent company Daimler bought WesternStar

      Good point. That truck had me confused when i was a kid, you couldn't see the grill. I thought it must have been an old Kenworth.

    Ok video, nothing I didn't know though. I grew up in their predecessor, White 6000 and 9000. Until well into this century they still had the waist band just below the windows like the 6k and 9k.
    I recall them doing a custom black out truck in the late 70s or early 80s. GORGEOUS TRUCK.

    THE LONGEST LASTING TRUCK CAB DESIGN WAS PUT ON THE MARKET BY THE AUTOCAR CORPORATION IN 1950, THIS CAB BEING NAMED THE DRIVERS CAB!
    IN 1951 WHEN THE AUTOCAR CO WAS MERGED INTO THE WHITE CORPORATION, THIS CAB WAS USED ALSO ON OTHER TRUCK BRANDS, INCLUDING WESTERN STAR.
    THIS CAB DESIGN HAD SOME VERY MINOR CHANGES IN 1951 AND 1980 AND THE LAST USE OF THE ICONIC (AND DURABLE)
    DRIVERS CAB DESIGN WAS USED BY WESTERN STAR UNTIL 1997!!
    HOW MANY OTHER AUTOMOTIVE BODY DESIGNS HAVE BEEN IN USE FOR 47 YEARS!!?

      @jackschromeshop8296  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not many. The w900 has been around since 1961. Still manufactured to this day. 58 years. Also, Kenworth said they won’t retire it anytime soon so it good make it to 60!

    The 4964 was also in a strange some how horror film, given the lazy title “Trucks” And it’s about how trucks go and attack people. Very weird movie.
