Molson is a ghost town right on the Canada US border. Went for a drive one summer's day and took some pictures. It is museum site that is not staffed or closed. Just walk around when you get there. The letters on the tractor wheel are Fageol. Fageol was founded in 1916 in Oakland California. The company did not survive the depression of the early 1930s. It went into receivership, and the bank assumed control and re-organized under the name Fageol Truck and Coach. In 1938, T. A. Peterman bought the factory and its contents. In 1939, the first Peterbilt was produced in the Fageol tradition of building the best possible product. Fageol truck picture is courtesy of Hank's truck pictures.
