    The Argosy gliders are still listed on the Daimler Trucks NA website. And unless something changes in the regulatory world to stop gliders in the US I don't see any reason for them to cease production.

    Based on the brochure pictures I've seen it looks like the doghouse on the current models may have been eliminated,unless someone can verify otherwise.

    I own the Argosy in the avatar, bought in new in 2000. the doghouse is about 6" tall, same as current production. Very different than cabover designs of yore.
     
    mjd4277 and JRut Thank this.

    I see plenty of the older FLBs and some Argosys down south(mostly around Georgia and Florida).
