The most sought after big highway trucks in my mind were always Marmons. They were so rare that some fools would risk taking a picture of one while driving. Hence my only Marmon tilt cab photo.
The conventionals were always more impressive with massive hoods and with a brick like obliviousness to aerodynamics. However as these show, there was some acknowledgement to rounded corners in later years.
Sadly these Texas size, Texas-built trucks are no longer manufactured, but there are still a few on the road.
