It is said that the formidable personality of Jack Daniel himself still inspires the uncompromising process of making the finest "Tennessee sippin' whiskey" in the world. Known to say "...Every day we make it, we make it the best we can," Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel understood the fine points of mellowing fine whiskey. In the 1880s, he was encouraged by his nephew to begin selling his whiskey in bottles as well as in barrels. The square-shaped bottle design that was used then became a signature of Jack Daniel's and is still used today.

Some thirty years after Jack Daniel's became available in bottles, the Diamond T Motor Car Co. began selling trucks. During the '20s and '30s, Diamond T continues to improve its models, which proved very important for the company when World War II erupted. Diamond T, like most truck manufacturers, had to focus its resources on the war effort. Then, when the war ended, diamond T could rely confidently on the innovations and newly redesigned models that it had introduced at the end of the 1930s until it could bring new models onto the market. In fact, the late '40s Diamond T trucks are considered among the best of the era.

Now, a classic 1948 Diamond T Tractor Trailer is decorated with the bold logo of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey in an impressive die-cast model. Your Jack Daniel's 1948 Diamond T Tractor Trailer is precision-engineered and meticulously detailed. The rear trailer doors open and close and the trailer can be lifted off the cab and can stand alone on its retractable legs.
