Colorized photos by George Murphey

4/4/2016

Our Facebook group page, "Fruehauf Trailers Were The Best" is more beautiful because of member, George Murphey. One day he was attempting to identify a historical photograph and realized that color would aid that process. He was instantly converted and began to colorize trucks to their true and authentic company colors. We love to see the old trucks in color and a splash of color let's us know that George has been posting photos.
