Trucks on Display
Below is a sampling of the many trucks on display in our Trucking Hall of Fame® Exhibit Hall.
1952 GMC CFI
Engine Type:
4-Cylinder Detroit Diesel
Transmission Type:
5 Speeds and 2-Speed Rear Axle
Truck Information:
Contract Freighters, Inc. (CFI), a truckload carrier of Joplin, Missouri, started out with trucks like this 1952 GMC. This one is a replica unit. It has a nicely restored Gramm trailer, which was very popular back then. CFI was sold to Con-Way in 2007. At the time of the sale, they operated over 2,600 tractors, had more than 7,000 trailers, and employed approximately 2,500 drivers. This was not a long-haul truck; the gas tanks are too small. And with its bench seat, it would not have been a comfortable truck to go cross-country in. Top Speed: 55 MPH
