other dog Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I didn't think the LIE would ever get past Edwards Ave or I would've pee'd on the proposed route.The first banana company my Dad drove for had a 190 with the headlights as an integral part of the fender. I never woulda thunk that truck was newer than a '64.Wonder what became of Tarheel Banana Co? Used to see them all up and down the east coast. Still ran a bunch (get it- bunch? like a bunch of bananas?) of older Autocars in the 80's. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

The drivers I'd seen had quite a few years on them too as I recall. I've spotted Tar Heel trucks as recently as 5 years ago. They had Pete 377's (still old, still red) as tractors and were pulling Dole cans, presumably out of Wilmington, DE. I passed them heading south on 301 in either MD or DE-saving bridge tolls on 95 I guess. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
