Do they still make them?

They used to be the truck of choice for interstate as they were the strongest in that era (40's - 60's). I think they had a five speed box with two speed diff and a top speed of about 80 kph.

Ah, Foden, the mythical marriage of the domestic car manufacturers...

Actually, Foden is older than the entire Auto Industry. Started off with Steam Traction Engines and then concentrated on heavy transport.

Check this out: http://www.foden.com/

An excerpt:

History of Foden

Foden Trucks' origins date back to 1856 when Edwin Foden began his career with a small engineering company near Sandbach in Cheshire that would become Foden Trucks, in 2006 celebrating 150 years of its enviable history.

The Foden name became synonymous with a reputation for quality engineering and played a key role in the evolution of commercial road transport both in the UK and around the world through the steam era, into the diesel age up to the present day.

In 1980 Foden became a divison of PACCAR Inc, one of the world's largest and most financially stable heavy truck manufacturers. Alongside other PACCAR owned truck brands, Kenworth and Peterbilt in the USA, and DAF in Europe(from 1996), Foden continued to develop and manufacture trucks to meet the requirements of operators in the UK and New Zealand until the Foden brand was retired from new vehicle production in July 2006.


Nothing about them doing cars in Oztralia!
