A great picture of a fine early 40's Sterling, pulling a MURPHEY trailer.
Sorry, but I couldn't resist. Love the air conditioning in these old trucks!! Can anyone tell me where this company was from, and what happened to it?
A little "something or other" about trucks of all types using truck models I have made and collected, photos I have taken, pictures and drawings I have found from various places. I have been building models for over 40 years and just got back to one of my favorite subjects - TRUCKS. Drop a comment if you wish, or send an e-mail through my profile - I want to hear from you.

If I Had A Million Dollars -------
Found this "Adult Die-Cast" toy site that makes some really nice "old school" die-cast "toy"
trucks. They specialize in older pre - 60's trucks. As can be seen from the picture above, these "toys" are built like the real deal - they are tough. They are put out by a company called SMITH/MILLER and have been in existence since 1979.
Now, if any readers out there would like to donate one of these fine models to my collection, I wouldn't mind at all!!!
The site deserves checking - better make that a big check!
