Doodlebug


The Texaco Doodlebugs were built in the 1930's.  Powered by a Hercules six cylinder engine that was mounted in the rear of the Diamond T chassis.  The bodies were made by Heil Trailer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The clutch and transmission were actuated by air pressure.  A microphone in the engine compartment connected to a speaker in the cab allowed the driver to hear the engine and know when to shift gears.
