Product Description:
Climb in for an over-the-road journey through the variety of handsome semi trucks of yesterday and today. This colorful volume showcases the big rigs of Mack, Peterbilt, White, Western Star, Freightliner, and Volvo, plus many defunct manufacturers such as Hayes, Autocar, Sterling, and American Coleman. Brief profiles convey the history of each company's products, while nostalgic and contemporary photographs showcase their big rigs.

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. Big Rigs is a really good book too, but this one is a lot better. This is a must for any semi truck enthusiast.

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 colour photos on 160 pages makes this an absolute treasure.

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?
