Peterbilt 589

Always the first thing that catches my eye when I see an old A-model, hood running uphill to the emblem.

That juxtaposition of the square radiator and raked windshield just doesn't quite sit right to my eye. Tipping the radiator back is probably an absolute no go for that market, but I have to wonder if rounding the nose by increase the shell radius just a touch would make it look more of a piece?

 

They could just tip the windshield back forward a few degrees and it would look better. There's not much fixing that stand up Sleeper though.

 

Sooo is the 589 just a 567 with a 389 hood?

 

I actually prefer the look of the 567, because of the slope of the hood going along with the slope of the windshield. The perfectly level hood and sloped windshield of the 589 isn’t quite as nice of a look. However, they both can be made to look amazing.

 

So you're paying a bunch more money for the same truck just with a different hood?

 

It's like the equivalent of giving your wife $50,000 to always wear of Halloween mask just so you can think she's a different more hot woman when in reality nothing truly has changed.

 

589s looking way more expensive than 579s. Much much more $ just for the hood.
