Photo Album: New Car Carriers, 1910-1998 Photo Album (Paperback)

This photographic history of new-car carriers begins with the flatbed trucks that first became an alternative to the railroad and continues through today's supermodern piggybacks and triple-deckers. Fascinating photographs include the introduction of double-decker trailers and enclosed streamliners, as well as converted auto carriers hauling military vehicles and armaments to the front during World War II. Of particular interest, however, are the cargoes themselves, which represent nearly a century of showroom-fresh automobiles from all comers of the world.
