Steinwinter Supercargo

I ran across this vehicle I have never seen before and thought I would share.

The article gives some history and a few pics of it.

I remember seeing those adds back in the 70'S and 80'S.

Wonder if that will ever happened in this age.

There may not have been a demand for the product, otherwise we would have had them on the road by now.
For the US and Australian markets I don't see the need as the length is not that much of a problem there, but for markets that has total length restrictions it could be another thing, Europe has strict total length restrictions but there is kind of a module system here based on specific load bearers like trailers and shipping containers so I don't think this will catch on here either...otherwise it would have already.

Looks like it would be a neat scratchbuild for someone with the talent, and I have seen a few on this forum that could tackle it.  Not sure if I would want to be in that cab in a head-on, especially with that much trailer weight over your head.
