There's a large Peterbilt plant just outside of Milwaukee and they always have three trucks in different colours on display where they are clearly visible from the highway. My wife always asks me to slow down when driving by so she can admire them. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular 359 has a 14L engine so likely more fuel economical than the 16L 379.

I've heard they can be quite comfortable. Unfortunately I didn't photograph the sleeping area. I'll try at a future event. I have a 1967 Scammel Highwayman tractor unit photo which is towing s fairground showman's 'living van'; I'll process and post pix of the van interior.
