The fairing from the cab that goes to the back of the rear tires is good for aerodynamics, and good for a couple more miles per gallon, but really makes a semi look good
This photographer was taken with this tanker... why else would he take photos of the front and back?
This looks like something from the 1910's or 20's that had a crane mounted on the back decades after the truck was made

looks like a 4x4 stagecoach in the background

The first Ms. America, Margaret Gorman, in a very limited production car by Birmingham, they coated the body in "Fabrikoid" a DuPont material that looks like alligator hide

I was just reading in the Haggerty newsletter (March 2010) about the Ford museum in Dearborn, and how they were looking for one of these fuel tankers, and that they couldn't find one in even halfway decent condition.. they'd all been used to death. So they restored one, or bought one that had been restored, and the museum now has it's fuel tanker and it's one of the few or only vehicles there that isn't in original / as found condition. They are so proud of the original condition vehicles they actually glue paint chips back onto the 999 when they fall off
