There’s no shortage of newer model trucks on the Great American Trucking Show show floor, but there are plenty of older model and antique trucks on display as well. Some of these trucks are competing in the Pride & Polish truck beauty contest, while others are part of a display from the American Truck Historical Society. Regardless of their reason for being on the show floor, there’s nothing quite like the classic beauty of an older truck.
