5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!!!!!!! SUPERB!!!! FANTASTIC!!!, April 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: American Semi Trucks (Enthusiast Color) (Paperback)

I'd recomend this short but awesome book to ANY truck enthusiast. It has the model and style history of over 18 semi truck manufacturers, as well as awesome photos. JUST BUY IT, OK?

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic American Semi Trucks, August 29, 2002

By	S. Jones (MOTUEKA, NELSON New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

If American Iron is your bag, especially 1960's through 1980's then it does not get much better than this. There is a brief history (just the way I like it) and some excellent classic trucks going back to the thirties, but mostly the late 50's onwards dominate this book, especially sixties, seventies, and eighties...

Popular classics are well represented, e.g Kenworth A and B models, all the Macks, Peterbilt, Diamond T , Autocar, Marmon, Dodge Bighorn, Western Star, Freightliner Powerliner and even the DF400 International. Excellent paper quality and mostly color photos on 160 pages makes this an absolute treasure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Book
This book, unlike Big Rigs, by the same author, is very well bound. The copy of Big Rigs is falling apart. This book is very well writen with better paper, photos, and text. Read more
