This museum is in Maine and owned by the family that owned Cole's express. Heavy focus on trucking with several videos.

At least one of the videos shows the Cole's express trucks from the 60'S that i thought some of the chauffeur 's might like

I remember Coles Express very well.

I remember Coles Express very well.

They were all over new england back in the day weren't they?

They literally had all the freight traffic going into and out of Maine.
They merged with Viking in a shotgun marriage arranged by Roadway then finally closed in 1997.
I have a very bad taste in my mouth about the Cole family but that's another Forum.

Very cool. I'll have to hit this the next time I'm up that way.

Another great museum in Maine is http://www.sealcoveautomuseum.org/ ,especially if you like brass era cars.

Did you see the '72 Imperial about 22:00 or so into the video? I was going to watch it for a couple of minutes, but ended up watching it all. Pretty cool.
