ITEM E275

By Robert Gabrick

Unable to find a manufacturer to build his new design, Leland James, the founder of Consolidated Freightways, founded what would become Freightliner. Photographs handpicked from the Freightliner Corporate Archives, combined with in-depth captions, document Freightliner trucks from those first trucks up to its partnership with DaimlerChrysler.

Through the years, Freightliner’s trucks brought many innovations including the all-aluminum cab, the integrated aluminum sleeper compartment and the full 90-degree tilt cab, all documented in the book.

Softbound, 128 pages, 120 photos, 10.25'' x 8.5''
