Here is another great advertisement from 1947 of a giant Standard Oil of California tanker truck. This vehicle is in front of the soon-to-be operational huge 200" telescope on Palomar Mountain in California.
The big truck is a typically tough and good-looking one from Diamond-T and would make a superb replica in any scale.

I love it! Terrific Diamond=T, fantastic ad. (This, from another T, also from 1947!)

Just quick a P.S. ....If you touch/click on the advertisement, it will open up much clearer in a bigger size.
