Nothing about that Penske truck is really analogous to my new truck. But it was very similar to my first truck 35 years ago. The gap between the tractor and trailer of the Penske rig was very close, but it did not mechanically close. So the driver had to be
very careful. The windshield and front end were flat. And Larry Shinoda, the designer of the 1963 Corvette and the Boss Mustang who designed that rig for Mr. Penske, did it
3 years after I built my first aerodynamic truck.
My 1983 prototype is shown below.
