Next week is going to be a BIG week for O gauge releases!
I almost feel guilty for giving you these teasers. They are pretty tough!
Have a great weekend!

First pic is pretty easy -- Tractor/Trailer
Second is more difficult. The tires aren't slicks, but the lettering is typical of Goodyear racing tires. Nascar (or as I like to say -- "Go Fast, Turn Left!") item perhaps?
The third is tricky. Military cannon, but looks too big to be mounted on a truck. Maybe a retro-style military flat car.
Good teasers.
The Goodyear tires tell me i'ts a Paul Menard Chevy race car, maybe flatcar included after all Paul is John's son.
Thinking about the cannon for a few minutes, what would be really cool is the cannon on a boat on a flat car. 
I am guessing the gun to be a 5" anti aircraft gun. maybe as a load.
One heck of an Army Caboose !!!
and I planned on blowing the budget with an American Power & Light 
There might be a [CSX] box car.
There might be a Race Car on a Flat Car.
There might be an Army Jeep on a Flat Car.

Third one Deck gun. Submarine or railway cannon.
Tires are not slicks, They are rain tires so that rules out NASCAR,, F1 or Indy type car. Then again they are made in china. Perhaps a mix of both.

NASCAR has used wipers brake lights and road tires during inclement road course races. Don't ask me how long ago.
My guesses:
*Two tractor trailers.. Goodyear and Pepsi.
*A Goodyear Service Center building
*A gun mounted on an Army caboose cupola! Lol! (I had to work in the much needed Army caboose in here somehow!)
Last weeks Xfinity race was run mostly with rain tires. Was almost more of an off road race than a road course. It was a hoot to watch.

The artillery piece looks like a Nazi 88mm flak gun...started out as anti-aircraft, then anti-tank and main gun for tanks.
Whatever they are, I am sure we will be pleased. I am looking forward to see the military piece.
Drowning in a sea of Menards offerings, I am lost!! Help me, please help me!! LOL
A really fast fire engine with a water cannon!
I have not a clue on them. My doctor put me on medication and told me to layoff the clues for a while but who listens to a doctor when the clues sustain you from week to week so here goes. Hard for me to see a semi when there is a space after the first set of wheels. (could be a typo) The second one is that it is a stack of tires in front of a auto store or gas station (still dreaming of buildings) and the third one is the gun is mounted in a half track or it is sitting in front of an Army surplus store. Now I am going to see if I can go to sleep for the night........Paul
Mark aim that Thursday teaser at me and hope the bullet or amo can reach 3000 miles
militarized "General Lee"
I hope with get another clue today.
Whew, I'm okay now! Someone sent a Menard coastguard helicopter on a flatcar! LOL
Could be the TRUCK GY uses to get the items to the store!
My guess

If the NASCAR is 27, why not some O-27 stuff!
Stopped by my local Menards today and came across this in the $2.99 bin, the cannon looks the same. They say die cast but are all plastic, Also they have all the Halloween and fall things set up so the Christmas season not far away��

My guess for the first on is something CSX intermodal and for the second a Menards car on a flatcar (CSX ?) with spare tires included. As for the third, I have no clue, I not that educated in terms of military equipment.

Hey Bob, Love the tanker truck with the tractor!
These are the front runners so far. 
I bet Cabinet Bob has the right guess. Didn't he nail it last week?

Hey Franktrain, I really like your Belt Railway locomotives. I used to see them around the hood during my formative years.
Check out these brand-new, heavy-duty, die-cast tractor and tanker sets! Each set is well built and beautifully painted with authentic paint schemes and decorated with detailed logos. Both die-cast tractor and tanker trailer combinations feature freewheeling action, and are sure to be a great addition to any model truck collection.
