Kenworth W900A
The W900A established the W900's near-60-year production run — a long-bonneted conventional with a set-back front axle, raised chrome exhaust stacks, and Cummins or Detroit power. Its proportions — narrow cab, long hood, massive presence — defined the American trucker aesthetic for generations.
