Post Kenworth W900 Axed after 65 Years.

"Iconic American truck axed after 65 years
ŠImage uploaded from CC Composite Editor ( id : 161634 )
A rolling piece of classic Americana is about to exit US highways. Kenworth, the commercial trucking giant, has confirmed that production of the W900 will stop in 2026, bringing an end to the third longest-running mass-market vehicle still in production. The diesel-powered big rig, introduced in 1961, has been a fixture in trucking culture for generations. Only the Chevrolet Suburban and Ford F-Series have been on the road for longer."

That comparison is a little misleading.
The Suburban particularly has been through many derivations, and the F-Series has certainly had a few facelifts.

The 900 Is Kenworth's "retro" model. It has already been replaced with more modern versions, such as the 990.

In Australia the W900 was discontinued in 1987. I never understood why...
