2018 makes 100 years from their beginning. They started out as a open cab vehicle with a flat bed of sorts for moving materials around in a industrial setting. As time passed, they offered a closed cab and you could build the back as you needed. 100 years ago.

The brand's first production truck drew inspiration from vehicles used in plants to move parts and pieces from place to place. The One-Ton was essentially a rolling chassis featuring an open cab, an open frame that allowed customers to install their preferred body, and an inline four-cylinder engine.
Remarkably, the bowtie badge has carried on almost unchanged for 100 years.
