Description

"The FWD truck, with the engine under the seat, gave the operator better front visibility when plowing heavy snows. The Four Wheel Drive Auto Company (FWD) of Clintonville, Wisconsin, built these early trucks that had Sargent plows mounted on them." --Fletcher, David H. ' The Portland Company 1846-1982.' Charleston, S.C.: Arcadia Pub., 2002. 110.
