Description
1944 Autocar Trucks – Full color 10″ x 13″ ad for their heavy trucks that were doing work at the home fronts and at the fighting fronts. The ad has a picture of an Autocar Truck from the Bigge Drayage Company in California slowly pulling a trailer holding a 60-ton hull section of a prefabricated warship for Henry J. Kaiser”. The ad claims that the truck and trailer assembly is 105′ long and 26 1/2′ tall and the 38-wheeled combination must travel along eight miles of city streets. The ad headline calls this another example of going “Down to the Sea in Autocars!”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
