Product Description
A photographic history of the new car carrier from the beginning when flatbed trucks and trailers first became an alternative to the railroad for carrying new cars. These fascinating photographs take you through the introduction of double-decker trailers, the converted auto carriers hauling military vehicles and armaments during WWII, to the innovative piggybacks and triple-level auto racks that are used today.
