Trucking time travel, only faster

Max Heine | February 17, 2011

We’ve changed the Overdrive 50^th anniversary site, OverdriveRetro.com, so that the home page loads much faster. Our apologies to readers who’ve been discouraged in earlier visits. I hope you’ll give it another try and enjoy revisiting the last 50 years or trucking.

The site is brimming with images, such as Nancy Brunolli, who appeared on the February 1973 cover. A Miss Universe contestant, she posed with a Brockway tractor as Overdrive’s Date Master that month. She was photographed in mid-state New York, near Cortland, where Brockways were made.
