I believe Hendrick Motorsports uses those. I saw a couple of all white rigs like that leaving Road Atlanta when one of the cars were testing that day.

I still dig the timeless look of the Peterbilt 379/389.

It's the PT Cruiser of the 18 wheeler crowd.

Needs more chrome.

I think the grille on the International LoneStar looks retro cool. The headlights make it look weird. If it had the singles like the Pete 379 that ECM posted, it would probably look better.

Better than this, I guess, but if you took the green goblin head and chromed it out, that truck would look a lot like the one the OP posted.

You can never have too much chrome or too many lights

Too many lights? Japan has that covered.

That truck is awesome. Best sounding villain ever.

I like the grill of it, I just hate the headlights and those lights near the doors. Those make it look tawdry.

I love seeing those on the road! Don't see them too often though I figure, if it still hauls fine, is comfy, and efficient, why not make it look different and awesome! The Harley Davidson edition looks pretty bitchin' too...

I like that one, but I'm a bit shocked that the Harley edition has more subtlety and less chrome than the truck that started this thread.

I like it. Looks like a proper tractor to me. Most of them have gotten boring and too amorphous blobby for me. At least it stands out.

I agree with the OP, I like them! My company does a lot of work with International Dealers and they are really cool in person. I even got to take one to the local autocross:

OK, I am totally kidding. I just found that shot in the interwebz.)

It could play Optimus Prime's derpy inbred cousin.
