Book Description

Photo Archive May 2, 2003
Unable to find a manufacturer to build his new design, Leland James, the founder of Consolidated Freightways, founded what would become Freightliner. Photographs handpicked from the Freightliner Corporate Archives, combined with in-depth captions, document Freightliner trucks from those first trucks up to its partnership with Daimler Chrysler.

Through the years Freighliners trucks brought many innovations including the all-aluminum cab, the integrated aluminum sleeper compartment and the full 90 degree tilt cab, all documented in the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Freightliner Trucks 1937-1981, May 20, 2008
This review is from: Freightliner Trucks: 1937-1981 Photo Archive (Paperback)
Book is very informative. Has lots of great old factory photos. The book really focuses on the 50' and 60's. It really covers very little on the 70's, which is what I was looking for.
