How about a Buick with a Road Train?

 Dang! I have often thought I would have liked to drive one of those Road Trains.  Would have made the 90'  of my doubles rig look like a wannabe.  

  Beautiful  Buick.

This must be down under, would hate to do a USDOT safety inspection on one of those! "too many wheels" Glad i'm retired, the most I did were on doubles. US allows triples on only 13 western states

That picture looks fairly recent...

I took those pictures at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore MD November of 2016. 
Lots of interesting history in Baltimore. Just be back to your hotel before dark. 😉

OK - I was surprised to see a '37 Buick track car still existing.  I guess it is just a display now, correct?

Yes, I believe it is just a display car now. To bad they leave it outside.

The former Rio Grande Southern had autos converted to rail use maybe called Galloping Geese and one or more remaining ones displayed in Cortez or Mancos Colorado. It was certainly south of Telluride.
