Title: Chicago Tribune truck pics needed
Post by: haggar on February 24, 2018, 10:29:40 AM

I've spent hours searching for pics of Tribune trucks (semis and delivery) from the mid-90s and have come up empty handed. Was the paint scheme the same as today?

I've seen a pic where the Tribune Herald was on a diagonal. I have not been able to find it again. The only thing I could find was a toy truck dated 1988.

Also trying to figure out what brand f tractors were in use then. Currently they are Sterling.

Any pics would be most welcomed.

Thanks,
Joe

Thanks Tom. I should have used quotes in my search. Glad to see the herald is on a diagonal. Now I have to find some pics of semis.

I found this by accident on YouTube which helped to answer my own inquiry.. It's a ride from Edison Park to Ogilve from 1990. At 12:38 it passes the Tribune Freedom Center. It provides some more evidence of the Trib delivery truck paint scheme I've been searching for.
