4th Of July

American Icons

While thumbing through a few past issues of Diesel Power, I came across some very iconic images that I think make America, well… America…

 


CAT

To be sure, the Ford vs. Dodge vs. Chevy battle will always be part of what makes this country so great, as will John Deere, an icon that also has its very own color (not green, but John Deere Green), and most importantly, the M1 Abrams tank—a military work of art recognized both by those in uniform and civilians alike.

Of course, I didn’t want to leave out any other symbols that also represent what America is all about: CAT, Cummins, International. The list could go on and on, but everything listed here has to do with (in one form or another) the utilization of diesel power.

Have a great 4th of July weekend.
