Antique and classic trucks at MATS 2017

March 30, 2017

You didn't miss this, did you? Because if you were at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, you'd certainly have missed out if you didn't spend some time seeing the many classic and antique trucks owners brought out to the conference.

Don't think for a minute this was all of them to be found — there are rumors Fleet Owner may have run across a few more and a couple other strange thisses and thats — but come with us for a look around (and sometimes in) these trucks from another time.

There's nothing quite like those classic lines like these you'll find on the trucks and cars of yesteryear. (Aaron Marsh/ Fleet Owner magazine)

About the Author

Aaron Marsh

Before computerization had fully taken hold and automotive work took someone who speaks engine, Aaron grew up in Upstate New York taking cars apart and fixing and rewiring them, keeping more than a few great jalopies (classics) on the road that probably didn't deserve to be. He spent a decade inside the Beltway covering Congress and the intricacies of the health care system before a stint in local New England news, picking up awards for both pen and camera.

He wrote about you-name-it, from transportation and law and the courts to events of all kinds and telecommunications, and landed in trucking when he joined FleetOwner in July 2015. Long an editorial leader, he was a keeper of knowledge at FleetOwner ready to dive in on the technical and the topical inside and all-around trucking—and still turned a wrench or two. Or three.

Aaron previously wrote for FleetOwner.
