American Trucks of the 1960s

English

By (author): Norm Mort

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 manufacturers, 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. See more

About Norm Mort

Canadian Norm Mort has had a lifelong interest in historic vehicles and by the age of 10 was photographing old vehicles parked by the side of the road; by the age of 12 he was the youngest member on the executive of the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada. After graduating from the University of Toronto Norm became a teacher and librarian in the public school system. However it was not long before his love of old cars and trucks led him to become a freelance automotive writer for magazines and newspapers in the field of transport which he has now done for over 30 years. Norm has written over a dozen books about historic vehicles and has become Canada's most prolific writer on old cars and trucks. Norm is also an animal lover and has written books about travelling with pets (combining both of his passions) and about living with a pet menagerie.
