This unique photographic history of the new car carrier takes you from the beginning when flatbed trucks and trailers first became an alternative to the railroad for carrying new cars, through the introduction of double-decker trailers, to converted auto carriers hauling military vehicles and armaments during WWII, to the innovative piggy-backs and triple-level auto racks of today.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent coverage on one of the best kinds of trucks ever!,
By A Customer
This review is from: New Car Carriers, 1910-1998 Photo Album (Paperback)
Ever since I was a little kid, I loved car carriers for some reason. Every day, I would go to the busiest road I knew and watch for them. I still watch and love them today, but now that I have this awesome picture book, I don't have to go to the highway all the time to watch these cool trucks go by. You can only rely on Inconografix to bring you the best picture books on your favorite kinds of vehicles

Great pictures of some wonderful cars and their haulers,
By Steven Stanford (Hartland, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Car Carriers, 1910-1998 Photo Album (Paperback)
A fantastic collection of old photographs with well done text remarks. Noteworthy are the "one offs", that is the special construction rigs. This book could have been better if some articles of historic text filled in the gaps.

This review is from: New Car Carriers, 1910-1998 Photo Album (Paperback)
a great book as I was a car hauler for 30 years and my son is a car hauler. My dad was a car hauler for 30 years also, so the pictures bring back a lot of memories for my family. A very great book and well worth the money thank you Fred Everhart
