    Looks like something for metro type buses, but it's almost nonexistent to have articulated buses in America...

    might have been a prototype, that was obviously junked.

    could even have been a movie truck, in some futuristic movie

    well obviously, it either did not prove itself as "performance" or maybe it had structural problems as well. then of course, there is the over all cost of buying, removing one cab for another.

    i cannot see how it could have been a money maker for the inventor.

    im not sure but i saw something written by a driver who had one and he said with a 450 cat and a 13speed he was averaging 7.5mpg and the bunks ran in line with the cab not in the back like normal

    That's right beside the DC, Safeway, I think? I talked to the owner once a couple years ago, really cool old guy. I thought he called it a Pegasus or something, but like I said, that was a couple years ago, right after I started CDL'ing.
     
    D.Tibbitt and buddyd157 Thank this.
