American tanker truck of the 1930s.

The vehicles were streamlined and highly aerodynamic. The overall shape, a flattened half-cylinder rounded at the front and tapered at the end, has been described as a "pill" or "breadloaf". The passenger cabin was blended into the body, and there were no fenders, hood, cowl, or running boards. The windshield was compound curved glass, quite advanced for the time. It stood only 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, very short for a tanker truck then or since.

The bodies were made by Heil Trailer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the chassis by Diamond T. The first model was publicly displayed in January 1933. The Texaco Doodlebug probably featured a rear-mounted Hercules L-head six-cylinder engine. The clutch and gearbox were actuated by air pressure. A microphone in the engine compartment connected to a speaker in the driver's position allowed the driver to hear the engine, so he would know when to shift.

The Doodlebugs were part of an overall project by Texaco, contracted to industrial designers Norman Bel Geddes and Walter Dorwin Teague, to modernize their brand look. This project produced the Texaco star-T logo still used today and other updates, including the Doodlebug, which was designed by Bel Geddes and his design team. However, not many Doodlebugs were produced (some sources say six, but the actual number may be lost to history)."

eeemh, clearly that tanker has fenders and while obviously it's not a square brick, i have to question the notion that they are "highly aerodynamic".. Sure they look very cool, and modern for the time they were made.. but Aerodynamics is not the same as stylish and modern looking in the 30ies.

The Cx value for that entire vehicle i'm sure is terrible.. Not that it mattered much as that 6 banger Hercules diesel it had may have had a boat load of torque, it probably never got up to any kind of speeds where drag really is an issue.

I have heard several rumblings/rumors that LivePD could be returning before too much longer. One from our local sheriff's department (Richland County, SC) which was featured heavily on the show. I heard A&E doesn't own the rights to the show, so it can go anywhere.
