Post by: fyreline on April 06, 2011, 08:10:00 AM: I'm afraid my in-depth knowledge of Hug trucks is woefully inadequate. I know they built 4,014 of them in total from 1921 through 1942, and they made their name on the heavy-duty "Roadbuilder" model for the construction trade. They called their over-the-road lne of highway trucks the "Xpress", and I think that's what the unit pictured would be. The only model number I can find in reference to a COE unit like the one pictured is a Model 16, which is a 10-ton unit.

Best I can do.

Post by: DeAutogids on April 06, 2011, 08:27:16 AM: I think he is right; On OFAS I found this: 1939 Hug Model 16 Lugger Coe powered by a Caterpillar engine.
Oh and thanks for this puzzle, I found quite a lot of info by researching it.
Title: Re: Puzzle #1950
Post by: fyreline on April 06, 2011, 01:21:59 PM: The reference I found to the Model 16 COE was about a 1938, not sure how many years that style was in production but late 30's looks about right. 1938-39 I would say. I'm pretty sure the "Hug Lugger" name is correct for this truck, which I think would make it a Model HC.
