Book Description
These are not your average trucks! The wide variety of traveling shows modified their trucks for many special uses. These shows used trucks as tractors, parade units, tent reels, animal cages, ride foundations and canvas reels. This book illustrates the many truck manufacturers that were used, and the many amusement organizations that used them. Large, detailed photographs include early as well as recent models, along with action shots. In-depth captions explain the use of each truck, including technical details such as the engine, make, model, etc. where available. This is a very unique book that both truck and circus/carnival enthusiasts will love.
Customer Reviews:
a must for all circus model builders.......2001-11-30
Being an over 30 year member of the Circus Model Builders and known for the circus truck models I have built, this book has a lot of picture history. I remember seeing the truck that is on the cover when I was a child and it brings back memories. I have never seen any of the photos in this book before and many of the over land trucks I have seen in person. This book is a must for all people interested in the circus or the many types of trucks circuses used.
