Back in print! British lorries of the 1950s in 120 colour and mono pictures, many contemporary. Images include publicity material, the preservation scene and depict historic vehicles at work. Comprehensive text reveals much about Britain's commercial vehicle and road haulage industries, along with those marques that were household names.
British commercial vehicle manufacturers played a key role in bolstering Britain''s economy throughout the 1950s, especially during the period of postwar austerity, a time when they contributed to the all-important export drive.
British lorries were the workhorses of the world, and performed a wide range of tasks from goods delivery to heavy haulage. This highly visual study of British lorries of the 1950s captures, in 120 illustrations, the vital but often understated duties that were reliably conducted 365 days a year.
Vintage black and white, and color photography include evocative publicity material, and pictures from the preservation and heritage scene. The comprehensive text reveals much about the marques that were household names, along with information about Britain''s road haulage and commercial motor industries.
