Product Description
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.
