Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Everything in Texas used to be bigger. Including, the family cat

I'd like to have one of those 6-wheelers, if not only for dressing up the front end with a third eye from a locomotive, including a set of locomotive horns, for frightening texting jay walkers to attention

 

I'd like one just to scare the crap out of interstate highway texters.

 

Those are called Futurliners, BTW.

I wonder if that one which was destroyed in 1956 hit a bridge, before the Interstate System was completed

 

No. They were under 12' tall, and with signed exceptions, 14-16' is the US/Interstate highway overpass/bridge structure clearance. But they do seem like they're overtall, don't they?
