The turbine turned out to be a dud, many manufactures tried it in the 50's 60's 70's. Could not beat the " cost per mile". However, the design of present big rigs is getting closer and closer to this experimental. Notice the super large single tires, super large cab and sleeper areas and super large glass, not to mention the wing faring between front and rear axles. No wonder I'm not interested in present big rigs. Notice the " gear and lightning bolt" emblem on the front end, a signature Ford truck traditional emblem from the 50's thru 60's.
