Freightliner FL-Series (Business Class)

The medium-duty original that put Freightliner in the local-delivery business.

The FL60/FL70/FL80 Business Class replaced the Mercedes-Benz L-Series in the US in 1991 and was Freightliner's first medium-duty line — the direct predecessor to today's M2, with countless units still working delivery and vocational routes.
