What's goin' on...

Can't really give ya a direct answer to that question. Every generation has had it's share of good and bad makes and models.

[Old Albion]

1960's, 1970s and early 1980s

1955 - 1965. Big, purposeful, stylish without having to be gaudied up with tack-on chrome everything! Cars had chrome, trucks didn't!

Eventhough I was too young to notice at the time, the effects of that era reverberate even today.

I'm a 1970's-1980's fan. I love the trucks, and all the 3 and 4 color paint schemes. A lot of your accessories were color matched to the truck, like air cleaners. I like that look.

I do love my chrome, but as I have seen with so many trucks, you can really cross the line of good taste with chrome. I know my Pete(see "Miss Debra Ann on the 1:1 reference page to judge for yourself) had a lot, but I always asked myself before adding an accessory," Is this too much? Did I go too far this time?" I can remember seeing in a magazine where, and this is no exaggeration, a black Kenworth w900 had every one of its interior surfaces, walls, and everything else other than the seats, covered with stainless panels as if the truck was dipped in chrome. This included the floor, door panels, ceiling panels, and not just for accent. It literally covered everything. Now that's way beyond good taste.

For me, my favorite era is the 1970's, because those trucks remind me of trucks from Smokey & the Bandit.

40-50's, I particularly like the COEs of the period.

Pre 80's (especially cabovers) and most modern types (I'm partial to the Mack Vision though I am a bit biased).

Cheers,
