Even though I am not fond of the Freightliner chassis & cowl, I wish that Ford continued to produce the B-Series chassis and cowl to this day; and I wish that Thomas remained an independently-owned entity rather than being purchased by Daimler/Freightliner in 1998; here is an FS-65 chassis & cowl with a manual transmission.

The Thomas conventional body also has the blue interior with blue seats.
