Autocar - The World's Finest! In 1950 the Autocar Driver Cab was introduced, which along with the Autocar Sleeper Cab and the Autocar Aluminum Driver Cab, was used on all conventional models produced until Volvo replaced it after purchasing Autocar. In the 1950s Autocar began what it called Custom Engineering, designing each vehicle to the individual customer's specific requirements. At this time Autocar focused on models for construction, logging, mining, quarrying and oil production, as well as lightweight over-the-road designs. Large format photos with informative captions illustrate all of the major models produced during this period. A brief history of the Autocar company is included.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By Biker Bob "RM" (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Autocar Trucks 1950-1987 Photo Archive (Paperback)
This book is absolutely a must if you are a fan of the disappearing Autocar trucks. I work for a company in NYC that bought Autocars since 1906 and were loyal right to the end. So we still have a bunch of Autocars left. Anyway I thought this book was very informative and satisfied my thirst for all things Autocar. I hope the author puts out another Autocar book covering the 1988 to 2001 final series of the Volve Autocar.
