Compared to many of our trucks now, she's got plenty left in her. That old girl should be painted with some blue stripes and put back on l/h to get another half-million miles on her.

You get to drive her.

CWX used to have its 1st tractor as well. I saw it once back at our in-house Rodeo, or maybe it was when we had the state rodeo at our barn. Anyone know what happend to CWX's #1.

I'm so glad we had Freightliners out west.Got to drive one of the old Conway Eastern Ford COE's once, what a worn out pile that was.Cab lurched forward every time you applied the brakes.

I bet that was an eerie feeling

rubiconmaster · Apr 12, 2011

That's pretty cool, and to think, the original driver still works for Conway.........must not be such a bad place after all.

Hell......I have them all......every year with every different change to the diecast. Cabovers, aeromaxes, the truckloads, conquests, blah blah blah. anyone else have them all other then Michael L (formerly of xgo)????

Snoman · Apr 12, 2011

The XTO terminal has every one of them and then some...they have a bookshelf with about 40 of them including the silver plated Con-way freight set of doubles..

companyclown · Apr 12, 2011

Yeah......I bet you would never guess who the scm is........ formerly of XGO. They used to be on his wall in his office........back in the day b4 the doors were locked.

Once upon a time, CCX was something to be proud of. Guess I'm not surprised our leaders are getting rid of her.

A lot of blood, sweet, and tears went into its restoration at the Cleveland OH shop.

dont you mean xto shop

companyclown · Apr 13, 2011

Nope.....check the website........Mike L. is SCM.
