This highly visual study covers the US and Canadian truck
manufacturers that built trucks in North America in the 1960s.
Canadian-built trucks were often unique, while others were built
specifically for the American market. The North American truck
manufacturers continued to thrive to meet the demands of the
prosperity of the 1960s with fresh designs and features. These
rugged, reliable trucks were capable of transcontinental commutes
of goods on a regular basis, or performing delivery and
construction tasks in and around cities. This concise volume covers
not only the histories of the major and lesser known truck
manufactures, but also the obscure, yet historically significant
manufacturers such as Available, Biederman, Brown, Corbitt, Leyland
Canada and others. Comprehensive captions and supportive text
combine with contemporary brochures, period literature, road test
info of the day, factory photographs and over fifty colour photos
of restored American trucks, to relate the importance of these
historic vehicles. Detailed shots of the engines and features focus
on what it was that set certain manufacturers apart in this highly
competitive market. This succinct, factual book on American
trucking provides a nostalgic look at a significant era in North
American history.
