Chinese Truck. American Engine. Global Audience.
Foton is a Chinese truck and car manufacturer with sales virtually everywhere around the globe except the United States. However, the cache of having an American diesel engine (the Cummins X12) is extremely important in establishing a premium image of dependability and performance. This footage was shot in Niagara Falls, NY to showcase the styling and performance of the Auman EST in an iconic location.
I remember a confident, strong willed, fun young fellow who was no end of fun. Hospitable, he never refused letting my future bride and me a chance to use his bathtub. That was 1980.
Doug and his future pride even met us during our honeymoon in SFO and we had great fun.
Happy 2022 New Year Doug and Sue!
Yeah, those were fun times. Hard to believe it was 40 years ago!!
