    Again, the sad-faced GMC beluga transporting competitors' products.

    Weren't International Harvester tractors dependable or didn't they build them yet, at that particular time?

    If my memory serves correctly, I saw an IH from like the 30's at the dealership. I was there picking up parts for one of those sprint van/bus deals. I think those are a collaboration of Mercedes, dodge, and international ?

    Mercedes, Dodge and Freightliner. IH is now Navistar. And yeah, it could've been pulled by an International or Studebaker, among others, but it just came down to who was cheapest at that time.

    The ugliest prostitutes should logically be cheaper. So, why not justify bargaining down the ugliest belugas?

    I'd have to say some of the trucks from IH were pretty ugly, but in the 50s trucks were for work and not much effort went into styling

    What you just posted still looks way better than that beluga hauling those Nashes.

    Ah, but nowadays, even that wallflower of a Jimmy would make a hellacious hot rod car hauler.

    I do know a little about ugly trucks. But have no experience with ugly prostitutes. As a sheltered white boy in the midwest momma even made me stay away from most auto transport trucks.

    Sheltered Midwest boys usually became a decent allowance. Meaning, you could have afforded avoiding ugly hookers, Sir?
