Acars hold a special place in my heart. As a youngster I road in a few Acars with drivers for a co. That only had Acars. Great trucks.
I worked for Vigo truck center in 79 in Terre Haute IN, we were a white and freightliner dealer so I've worked on a lot of A64B models Autocar and mack R models were the primary trucks used in the coal hauling here in west central Indiana, loved this truck
The Autocar is the only thing worth watching in that movie!
I learned to drive on a 1939 Autocar. Back in those days the position of controls was not standardized between manufacturers. The 39 Autocar had the accelerator and brake pedals reversed. The brake was on the right and the accelerator was in the middle between the church and brake.
First truck I was on my own in was a 71 Autocar flat fender triaxle dump. She was a beast lighter weight than other triaxles in the company and just couldn't stop her. 220 n/a Cummins and a 13 speed double overdrive. Poor old girl was pretty worn out though, hard to make her run straight down the road
This is what you call a Monsterous & Heavy!!!! built beast. No macks don't count... I consider A-car one of them Pre-1985 Especially with the Construcktor!
Autocar made halftracks during WWII. Iv got one. A m15a1 anti aircraft multi gun carrier
Always loved the very distinctive designs of autocar trucks
I don't know about the whole ask and receive? I asked for a OTR version of the new DC64, but they said they had no intention of doing one, that they were gonna only do vocational trucks with em. I think that you put a sleeper on one and it'd make an awesome OTR rig.
I wrote em a hilarious letter in response talking about doing one of those infomercials with Sally Struthers talking about all the poor, underprivileged truckers without an Autocar of their own. It was fkn hilarious!😂
I like 👍 Autocar trucks they are awesome they have that very traditional look
Love those ACARS!!!
Great information about Autocar - perfect for any truck fan!
I always liked the "Rolling A" hood ornament Autocar used in the 50's and early 60's.
Autocar! The first name in trucks! #1, of three of the greatest trucks ever manufactured.
I don't think I have seen an AUTOCAR TRUCK since I was a kid. I thought they were out of business. This must be the only American owned truck manufacturer.
Checkout the New Autocar DC-64.
11. Autocar is pretty much the daddy of Soviet truck manufacturing. The first successful mass-produced Soviet truck model - the ZiS-5, is a licenced version of an Autocar truck. After WWII they just started copying American solutions without licensing. Take a look at the KrAZ trucks, which use an unlicensed copy of the Detroit Diesel 6-71 engines.
Thanks, I learned some stuff!😎
I worked for a company that made concrete pipe they had a fleet of autocars from 1976 models to 2001 models they were real work horses
