American Car Haulers (Crestline Series)
In the early 1920s, over-the-road auto transporters proved an economical alternative to railway shipping. Since then, auto transport trucks have progressed through several stages of evolution, from flat trailers to ramped double-deckers and streamlined units. This chronological scrapbook of archival and contemporary photography documents the evolution of auto transporters over the last 75 years, while introductory text and detailed captions explain the development of these vehicles. Truck and automotive enthusiasts will enjoy the wonderful photography showing haulers from several manufacturers filled with factory-fresh cars from every American automaker.
Customer Review: American Car Haulers: Special Delivery!
I truly love all kinds of big trucks, but auto carriers never fail to stop me in my tracks wherever I may be. Dick Copello really has hit a tape-measure home run with this book. He does an outstanding job blending a highly-readable text with stunning photos. My sincere recommendation is that if you are a truck fan, you won't be able to put this one down. It will be one of your all-time favorites; I know that it's one of mine!
