Campbell 66 Express
Campbell 66 Express was an American trucking firm based in Springfield, MO that operated from 1921 to 1986.[1]
Frank Campbell[1] originally established the company as a gas station, but later took over the preexisting 66 Express trucking firm.[2][unreliable source?]
It was famous for its mascot, "Snortin' Norton", a camel who was "humping to please";[1] collectible toy trucks are often painted in its livery for the amusement value.
The firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1986[3] and exited the trucking business.[1] Its corporate successor survived until 1997.[2][unreliable source?]
