The latest issue of OLD AUTO's ran a story on the restored custom tractor trailer unit that the Labatt Beer Co. used to haul cases of beer back in the day. They had a fleet of 10, and one more was built for a Netherlands customer. Thought some of you might find it an interesting read. The article is Historical Sketches by Bill Vance. Sniper

I've seen that truck elsewhere, it is just about as cool as a truck can get.
There was also a period picture of a whole row of Airflow trucks with Texaco badging. I have not been able to find anything on airflow trucks or that they even existed.
 
I hadn't heard of the Texaco trucks so I did a quick search and found this.
