Today, Budweiser is the largest selling beer in the world. But, even by the late '40s, the bellwether brand of Anheuser-Busch was so popular that it was often advertised with the simple word; "EVERYWHERE". Then, as now, Budweiser is delivered to beverage outlets and other establishments in virtually every city and town in big rigs. A half century ago, the trailers were rounded in the front and they were often dressed up with deco-style trim. And the cabs that pulled those trailers had the same curvy design as the classic pickup of the era. One in particular was the 1948 T rig. Like every Diamond T truck manufactured around 1911, this cab carried the designation "T" in a diamond-shaped emblem. Combining rugged dependability with a comfortable ride for the road-weary trucker, the Diamond T trucks of the late '40s are considered among the very best of that era. And now a legendary 1948 Diamond T rig pulls a classic trailer bearing authentic Budweiser graphics from that time period.
