When picking around old forum threads, you never know if you might find very unusual show trucks like this custom semi from the 80s. It’s not even from this continent. It’s a European show truck.
The original was published in a German magazine called “Fernfahrer Magazin,” and a member of the Trucknetuk board was so curious about it he asked the forum. The guy was called (by his forum handle) Franzneufra.
The answer came from a senior member of that board, “KW”:
KW wrote that this giant Volvo with its angular trailer and mural-painted drom box was one that belonged to a character who went by the name of “Mr. Trucker” on the international trucking scene. He was a larger-than-life character, KW wrote, who used to do the truck show circuit around Europe.
He was also featured in Trucking Magazine in that decade as well, and KW though he might have gone on to later drive the Bandag show truck.
The plates are Danish ones, also answered by KW.
If anyone has further knowledge f this truck, lets fill in the details about it. Let us know.
