    Studebaker even bolted their cabs onto tractor frames?! If that isn't cool.

    Sorry. Couldn't help posting this off-topic eye candy:

    Eye candy '47 dash. This is one case where instruments don't have to be round, for my liking. I'll take mine as a panel truck, please:

    After having confessed my off-topic sin, I was told I would receive the absolution, upon posting the long roofed, genuinely wooded variety:

    My Great Grandpa Merryweather was a Studie man, that's all he ever drove on his farms. It's what Grandpa Len and Dad both learned to drive. Also, the Soviets loved the Lend-Lease Studebakers, eventually copying them.

    That's a cool-looking BVILDING. Somewhat like a central bank or something.

    I never figured why they made the U like a V in stone work. Why not just make the bottom a straight line? :huh: B I_I ILDING:huh:

    Tvx-tax, tux-tax!!! Shame on you! Didn't you pay attention during Latin class?! I know, I know. I was shocked too when I found out the whole universe didn't speak English. I mean it IS in the Bible. they say it's because of Latin but I think the real reason is that "v" is waaaaay easier to chisel

    If this is the hood ornament attached to the tractor's hood, then it's true that Nash built heavy duty trucks:

    Nash division of Nash? I've never seen a sedan woodie. Is this customized or did the factory actually produce them?:

    Production of the Suburban was extremely limited. Between 1946 and 1948, Nash sold exactly 1,000 examples of the exclusive Suburban
