The tractor was destroyed (crushed) at the Louisville (KTP) plant and the trailers are also gone now. The trailers survived into the late nineties

junkmandan (4/7/2011) With the latest in spoke wheels !
And tube type tires too.
The futuristic looking truck was Ford's gas turbine truck and of course the other is the H model that showed up in 1961. That is the first picture I have ever seen of it without the matching trailer. It was a concept truck that made the show circuit. There were a lot of features on that truck that showed up on the CLT series Ford trucks. Here is another picture with the trailer on it.

Look sitting behind it.
