Dodge Airflow truck

Airflow trucks were based on standard Dodge models, so from an engineering point of view they were rather conventional, despite their striking look.

A restored 1940 Dodge RX70 Airflow Texaco tanker truck is on display at the Transport World museum in Invercargill, New Zealand.

Specially unconventional and noteworthy were the impressive Texaco's Diamond T Doodlebug tankers, designed by the futuristic industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes.

They featured a Heil low profile body and used a Hercules six-cylinder engine mounted in the rear and a large radiator behind it.

In Australia the Socony Vacuum Oil Company owned several remarkable streamlined Reo Speed Tankers.
