It's a 1933 Texaco Doodlebug tanker.

I find it interesting that truck wheels have barely changed in 80 years.

Onyma, they have changed considerably...look at the front rim, it is a split ring rim and was very dangerous...they stopped using them years ago...
there have been other advances too, for example; many rims/tires now have pressure monitoring systems...
but yeah, they are still round lol

one thing about this pic that I find interesting is that the guy handling the pump is wearing gloves, while the guy filling the underground tank is not...pump guy is probably only wearing them for aesthetic reasons only, required uniform or something...

A tanker, how bizarre, I thought it was some kind of promotional vehicle.
I bet she corners great with that low COG.
