- Shell tanker is a piece of automotive culture

large driver's cab, which at that time in the distribution traffic of the tank farm
was common. However, the rear part of the cab was preferred
used as a practical "can cupboard". The Magirus round hood in the
contemporary Shell colors not only brought the fuel to
gas station, but also took care of small-scale deliveries to the stations
with oil cans and other small containers. The structure is characteristic of
tanker construction in the 1950s. At that time, according to the
