Class of '** on trucks?

I dont understand it all either but my 2 cents is its a noun and 95.

 

i thought it was when they graduated cdl school?

 

IF IT'S A PETERBILT-then it's the class of 96. The year model.
Not a peterbilt then it's not in a class at all.

 

Wouldn't it have to say "Class of the 2nd week of March '95" ???

 

LOL what about adding "Who farted in class of 1996?" That makes more sense to me

 

Peterbilt was the one to use the term "Class of XXXX" in their 352 & 359 adds in the 70's & 80's, I agree with Forestgump if it's not a Peterbilt then I think something along the lines of "since 1986" or "born in 1986" is more appropriate. I hate seeing non Peterbilt trucks use the term, and I don't drive a Pete but I do understand the rules. (If you don't understand then it can't be explained)

 

perhaps HATCHED might be a better term for some trucks!

 

I always took it as an adjective, like class act of 1996. But it's just the year of the truck.
