The COE above was called the Dearborn line from the Transportation Engineers Co. There was also anothe COE conversion by Egalesfield and Irish. That line had a flush grille.

It's beyond beautiful in my eyes. But then again I like my '49 Nash too. So ugly it's cool. I wonder how many were produced and of that number how many have survived in any condition.

Trevor,


That's the Union (railroad) Terminal, the pride of Cincinnati, Ohio in the background.

Marmon Herrington also built some AWD cab over trucks. Ford hadn't started building them yet.

So since we are on the big trucks topic (which I think are very cool) can anyone explain why a small number of them up threw the mid 40's had chain drive? There was a 47 ford with tandem rear axle and chain drive on Craigs list awhile back and I've seen others over the years. I've always wondered why and where for this happened. Tim
