Freightliner Model 900
The Freightliner Model 900 was one of the first aluminium cab-over-engine trucks produced in America. Built by Consolidated Freightways to overcome length laws that restricted overall vehicle length, its cab-over design maximised trailer length while keeping total length within legal limits.
