Thereafter came such perennial draws as the Fruehauf Corp.'s mighty two-night bash, for which they trucked in Count Basie and band, as well as a disco combo, plus dance instructors to help unlimber the foxtrot generation; Thermo King's "Saloon," featuring the Great Jubilee Banjo Band and drawings for a radio-controlled miniature tractor-trailer for someone's lucky kid; and, of course, Mack Trucks' elegant soirée in the Trianon Ballroom, where a giant golden statue of its famous symbol, a bulldog, was displayed...
