Green Dash Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Great old pics.Do you know where in Akron the terminal was? I used to deliver doors to quite a few businesses there and was wondering If I'd been past it. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Mack White and IHwere dominant in the midwest east and south during the 50's 60's and 70's. Does anybody know who sold more trucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleman Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 The Yankee lines terminal was on Archwood just east of Kelly ave. Roadway was across the street from them.On the corner was Goodyear chemical and the rim plant.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 James j I would think International was the top seller of trucks in time period you asked about. It still is the # 2 seller of heavy duty trucks today. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
