    Not sure the brand of that little delivery truck at 0:31--but I grew up in SW Connecticut, and the Dugan man came to our house every week--my mom always bought a small cheesecake, and I ate so much, I didn't eat any from the age of 8 until I was 25!--Now I love it!

      British Railways owned over 12,000 of these fabulous vehicles. There is a company in Gingagong, Mindanau, Philippines which operates a fleet of 60 Scammel Scarabs to this day. But there are usually only about 40 on the road at any one time. The others being repaired , serviced etc.
      Why do they use this make/ model? I asked the CEO of the co pany who simply replied "They are more reliable than any modern day mass produced crap" . His words, not mine.

    Whole lotta great trucks! But not a single Diamond Reo in the damn bunch? Not even one fucking Diamond Reo? They were the quintessential American made long haul cargo truck of the 20th century until going out of business!!! Maybe I fell asleep along the way but with the distinctive looks of that big front end sticking out characteristic of the "REO" not easily confused with any other truck!!! Also I am going to agree with the others by saying all the fucking ads were a big turnoff!!! The music, who cares, turn the volume down!!!

    @Tom-Lahaye 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A lot of the pictures shown are not very starnge or unusual trucks, but just what they were looking in their days.
    Only some of the prototypes, customisations and advertising trucks can be considered being unusual, as there was only one or very few of them build, like the Chey Jet Truck or some of the tow trucks shown.
    And even when some of the deigns built in large numbers look strange for younger people now, they were common on the streets back then and not considered as strange or weird looking, for instance the corrugated iron angular van, known as a Citroen HY van, was a very common sight between the 1950s and the early 1980s in the west part of Europe.
    I think some of the cars, like the bulb nose Chevy pickup truck, the COE, even look quite cool.

    Nothing strange or unusual about a few of the trucks. For instance the truck at 11:20 was used for selling ice cream and milk delivery. The truck at 11:30 was designed as a delivery truck.
    There are some truck's in this little montage with stub nose hoods. They were built by Chevrolet and were called C.O.E. (Cab Over Engine).
    The Coca Cola truck's were not unusual either. Those were used for local delivery service in larger towns and cities.

    I don't care how much a truck has been painted and stuff if it has been lowered and had oversize rims put on it. Doing that makes it UGLY. It also defeats it's purpose. They should just buy a car if they want something low to the ground. A truck should sit higher and have the proper rims on it.
