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.
Excellent coverage on one of the best kinds of trucks ever! A Customer 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 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.. "new car carriers" according to Fredrick M.
