Autocars - Volvo Era - on the road trip

Original White Autocars are pretty rare, but even the late model Volvo Autocars are seldom seen, but I keep my road trip eyes open.

This semi with dump trailer was taking at lunch break at the Tim Horton's /Shell at the east side of Moncton / Dieppe, NB. Note the skid plate - once an Autocar trademark.

A twin steer dumper near Quebec City was idle for the last weekend of the construction holiday. It does not wear the Volvo diagonal rad bar (it may have been removed).

The rad, headlight frames and even the famed monogram were nicely picked out in red.

Volvo built nearly identical trucks without the Autocar radiator/grille, such as this pristine straight operated by Miller paving, also seen in Moncton, NB. It normally tows a draw bar trailer carrying a roller.

Volvo produced Autocar branded trucks from 1981 to 2001 before selling the trade name.
