Enjine!-Enjine! Magazine
 

The Cover of 2008-4 is a 1955 Crown delivered to Montebello, CA.  Montebello tried one of the most unusual experimental paint schemes on this rig when they painted the cab in red and white "zebra stripes".  Eventually the rig had its dignity restored when it was refurbished and repainted standard red.  (Photo by George "Smokey" Bass from the collection of Chuck Madderom)
