@supersobes recently linked a G-Maps Street View image of another Volvo with the same deflector; it can be seen from closer.

But it seems to me too vertical and non-aerodynamic to be a deflector. It seems more a shield to avoid dirt and bugs to hit on the main windscreen.

EDIT: Yes, they are for bugs and dirt but more aerodynamic that it seems from the point of view of those images: https://www.raneystruckparts.com/volvo- ... g-shields/

That red Peterbilt is love in the form of solid matter! That is a gorgeous truck! :o

I also love the Volvo food delivery service. I always find those types of trucks interesting, particularly because they are built almost like OTR trucks, but they are used for a very different use. Those types of trucks also look very cool when they are painted up in the US.Foods livery.

Very cool photos! Thanks for sharing! :)

That Pete made want to bust out a Tom Dooley rig in the game. Been a while since I scratched my 579 itch, haha.

And yeah, the food service truck is cool to me because I just love trucks in general, and am always interested in all the different configurations that are out there!

A Cascadia, Prostar, and custom Pete parked at the amphitheater today! 311 is not playing tonight, but the decal was on the Pete's trailer.
