When people think of American trucks, the image that often comes to mind is the long-haul rig crossing multiple states on vast interstate highways. Yet not all trucks in the United States are massive long-distance machines — many serve regional or short-haul routes. Among the manufacturers that defined the golden age of American trucking, two names stand out for their engineering excellence and prestige: Kenworth and Peterbilt.
Kenworth’s range has long included both the classic “conventional” models with extended bonnets and the distinctive “cabover” designs, where the cab sits directly above the engine. The cabover — or COE (“cab over engine”) — layout was especially popular among large transport fleets for its practicality and compact design, ideal for urban or fleet operations where manoeuvrability mattered most.
The Kenworth K100 emerged as a standout in this category, becoming one of the most recognisable and admired cabover trucks ever built. Known for its commanding presence, streamlined design, and signature chrome radiator grille, the K100 remains a favourite among truck enthusiasts and collectors alike. Its combination of durability, performance, and timeless American style ensures its legendary status on roads and in model collections worldwide.
