A Fageol Cargo Liner, some very interesting history behind the Fageol company that eventually became Peterbilt. As some of the comments in the link below indicate, these trucks were for slow-speed inner-city cargo runs -- anyone who has ridden in a Radio Flyer down a hill will understand why!
Analyze this crash scene.... possible factors: rain slick highway, over loaded, smooth front tires, driving too fast for conditions, driver in a hurry to deliver so he could spend some extra time flirting with that waitress at the diner, load not chained down tightly and it shifted.
Bottom line: Mrs. Smith's picket fence destroyed, and some white pine 1" boards are broken. Guard rail did not keep the vehicle on the road.
This brings back memories as I drove a REO with a 16' flatbed to deliver lumber in the early 70's. But I never rolled it.

Maybe I was mistaken and that was your brother getting a chuckle of your mishap..
I know it's a car thread, but the last picture in post #8478 is now my new favorite. And one of those that while (almost) a normal thing to see back in the day, and certainly at least more accepted back then without too many sideways glances, would make any modern city type cringe and be completely horrified to see!

Especially when you hear young boy shoots his sister thinking he had a cap gun..
