Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1948 Diamond T
"Rat Rod".
HISTORY
The Diamond T Motor Car Company was founded in Chicago in 1905 by
C. A. Tilt. Reportedly, the company name was created when Tilt's
shoe-making father fashioned a logo featuring a big "T" (for Tilt)
framed by a diamond, which signified high quality.[1] The company's
hood emblem on trucks was a sled dog in harness. From its
beginnings manufacturing touring cars, the company later became
known for its trucks. By 1967, as a subsidiary of White Motor
Company, it was merged with Reo Motor Company to become Diamond Reo
Trucks, Inc.
