  1. Cool. I don't understand why there are horns and windshield wipers on the trailer. Looks like an MG YA/B saloon behind.

    1. And how many MGs of that style are there? With the REO in the same frame, no less?!

    2. IIRC there were only 6 or 7,000 YA and YBs built before the Magnette replaced them in '54. As far as I know MG only exported the TC, TD and TF roadsters to North America.

  2. That rig is longer than it appears, maybe 50-60 feet overall.

  3. Probably the most American thing ever made to hit our roads.
