Douglas trucks emblem corn radiator in Nebraska heritage
The Omaha plant’s Douglas trucks feature a large ear of corn on the radiator, signaling Nebraska pride as the Cornhusker state. Eleven years after the first Nebraska built truck, Douglas remains the oldest midwestern truck maker with trucks in service across the region. Guy L. Smith notes the line is built for all weather and midwestern road conditions, serving truckers’ needs across the highway network.
