big rigs, with chapters devoted to all of the major makes of Class 8
diesel trucks: Mack, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, International,
Western Star, GMC, White, Autocar, Brockway, Diamond T, Ford, Dodge,
Marmon, Volvo, and more. You'll find a short history of the maker, plus
fabulous photos accompanied by extended captions describing model
histories and backgrounds. In addition, period ads and brochures make
this a complete and unique look at the history of American big rigs.
Each chapter provides a short history of the maker and is packed with
fabulous photos showing them in all their glory. These images are
accompanied by captions that describe model histories and the
backgrounds of these working trucks that ride our highways.
