The Autocar Company is an American specialist manufacturer of severe-duty, Class 7 and Class 8 vocational trucks, based in Hagerstown, Indiana. Started in 1897[1] in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as a manufacturer of Brass Era automobiles, and trucks from 1899, Autocar is the oldest surviving motor vehicle brand in the Western Hemisphere.
The last cars were produced in 1911 and the company continued as a maker of severe-duty trucks. In 1953 Autocar was taken over by the White Motor Company which made Autocar their top-of-the-line brand. White was taken over in turn by Volvo Trucks in 1981 with Autocar continuing as a division. In 2001, Autocar was acquired by GVW Group, LLC, which revived Autocar as an independent company. Autocar now builds four models of custom-engineered, heavy-duty trucks and has regained leading positions in several vocational segments.
Autocar experimented with a series of vehicles from 1897, with a tricycle, "Autocar No. 1", now in the collection of the Smithsonian.[6] In 1899 Autocar built the first motor truck ever produced for sale in North America.[7] The first production Autocar automobile was a 1900 single cylinder chain drive runabout. About 27 were made. In 1901 Autocar built the first car in North America to use shaft drive. This vehicle is also now in the Smithsonian collection.[8]
The 1904 Autocar was equipped with a tonneau, it could seat four passengers and sold for US$1700. The horizontal-mounted flat twin engine, situated at the front of the car, produced 11 hp (8.2 kW). This was a somewhat unusual engine design for the time, with most companies producing inline designs. A three-speed transmission was fitted. The steel and wood-framed car weighed 1675 lb (760 kg). The early cars had tiller steering.
In 1905 the company was selling the Type XII car for $2,250 and another it called the Type X for $1,000. It discontinued the Type XI and sold the last of them in 1905. The cars then had a wheel steering with left-hand drive.
The Type X was a runabout. During the 1905-1906 model year the company produced 1000 Type X cars. The manufacture of 500 Type XV runabouts was authorized for 1907 in place of 500 touring cars (Type XIV) in addition to the 1000 runabouts already planned. At special meeting on June 19, 1906 held at 711 Arcade Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the board authorized the hiring of a general manager by the name of Harry A. Gillis at a salary of $10,000 per year. Production of 300 Type XVI cars and 500 Type XVII were authorized during a board meeting on November 21, 1906.
Commercial vehicles were made the focus from 1907 and soon outnumbered cars.[9]
As of 1911, Autocar was making only trucks. The first model, the Type XVII, had a 97-inch wheelbase, a one and a half-ton capacity, and a two-cylinder gasoline engine under the seat. Later engines had 4 and 6 cylinders, and wheelbases became longer. Inline engines became the company's focus.
During World War I, the Canadian Armoured Autocar used an Autocar chassis.
In 1929, Autocar sold 3300 units, though the number fell to 1000 in 1932 and continued to decline during the Great Depression. Larger trucks with "Blue Streak" gasoline engines and Diesel engines, mainly from Cummins, came later.
During World War II, Autocar supplied 50,000 units to the military, including specialty vehicles such as half-tracks; during its entire prewar history, the company had only built 70,000 units. Autocar ranked 85th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts.[10] Civilian production resumed in 1944 and sales increased greatly after the war. Autocar soon had 100 dealers.

that damn chuck on first shift, always screwing up. beautiful build, and your sense of humor and enthusiasm is always appreciated
Thanks George!
I am about to build this kit. I'm going to delete the dump box and make this a scrap metal hauler! I love fabricating new parts. Auto car was a bad ass truck. I want to make mine on the edge, something more masculine, something that says, look how strong I am! I'm an auto car, not some Detroit wana be!!!! Wish I could show you pics when I'm done. I was a welder all my life, I have built many real trucks. Now I build from memory. This one will be fun!
I'm a dump truck driver, I really enjoyed watching this video. I just discovered you today, I will continue watching your videos thanks for posting this
Thanks!
*Nostalgia* I built this kit decades ago and this brings back memories. In building mine I omitted the sides of the hood assembly as was frequently seen "back in the day". I also hinged the hood top with *many* brass hinges to look like a "piano hinge". I also utilized the "extra pieces" to turbocharge and aftercool the engine.
From all of your models, this one is my very favorite. It's a candy on 10 wheels.
Thanks!
Sparkling commentary and well built dump.
I drove a truck like this when I first started driving in 1977.Also an excellent finished job.
Thanks!
This truck reminds me of Die Hard 3 when take gold bullion from the bank & that scene is awesome. Great work.
"Chester A Arthur!" Thanks!
Those were autocar dump trucks
I was thinking the exact same thing.
And a bunch of quarters too! Loved that movie.
Hazleton PA. on the mud flaps... Autocar made in PA. PA. WOO HOO !!!!!!!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Thanks for the tips on wear and naturalizing 😉👍
The fact that it's a heated dump lends to it being an asphalt or hot-patch truck. I think it would look good with a glossy brown-black gunk look in the bed.
Another way to get a good weathered work truck look is to paint it with flat paint and then buff it with a piece of old T-shirt until you get a semi-gloss finish. The low areas will still be flat but the broad surfaces will be semi-gloss like they're getting polished by work.
Much as with Ertl’s International Payhauler 350 Detroit Diesel Dump Truck kit, and AMT’s Caterpillar D8H Construction Bulldozer kit, I had built this one, too. The front left fender of the cab had an odd bend to it, so I just dry-brushed a bit of steel and hints of rusting over the painted part to suggest the consequence of a modest collision. I also had used Testor’s little, ¼-oz. bottle of generic medium brown enamel paint mixed with bits of baby powder to simulate thick clumps of fresh mud upon the tyres.
Ertl round that time also had released a kit of a dump trailer (Tri-Axle Gravel Trailer 1:25th-scale Model Kit (AMT 8628), one of which I had bought, that one could connect to the rear of a dump truck, complete with a fifth wheel arrangement that the tractor would pull.
I'm subscribed to your channel, I like your videos. I wish I knew people to recommend them to but all my friends are dead. Happens when your old. I've built models for 60 years. My Grandma would give me 5 bucks on my birthday and I would buy a model and paint. You could buy an AMT model back then for 2.00 bucks, throw in a couple of bottles of paint and glue and I was good to go!!!!! They are some of my best memories!!! I still build models, not as fast as I once did. But i have to say much better than I ever did. You are lucky to be able to do what you love. when you do what you love you never work a day in your life. My hat is off to you. May you never work a day in your life!!!!!!!!
I just got my first order in from model round up. Simple amazing job on the packaging. Cardboard in between each kit and each kit wrapped in newspaper. They definitely have a new customer. Thanks for putting this store out there Chris!!
Good to hear, they are good people!
Man! I remeber when I was little, I hauled many a load of dirt and gravel in my Tonka truck. Lol! Brings back memories. When I get mine built I may have to haul some more. 😂
Just picked this kit up along with the Tyrone Malone hideout KW. Used the engine and trans from the dump truck in the kw as I'm building it as the truck from the tv show BJ and the bear. Therefore, gonna use the V8 Detroit from the hauler in the dump truck.
Love the videos...and I am grateful that someone is reproducing these old kits again.
Nice! I just picked up this mean dirt hauler yesterday from Hobby Lobby for 40% off. I was very fortunate to get the last one they had. I had this kit back in the 70's when it first came out. I got it from a friend in a trade and he had already assembled it, so this is actually my first time building it. Great job, Chris! Thanks for the great tips. Those will come in handy for my build.
I built that same truck and mine is green cab and box, turned out really nice, built it in the early 80’s. It’s been packed away for many years now.
It's always Dave on day shift screwing something up with the trucks. Surprised he still has a job. Great build by the way.
Always! Darn it Dave! This is why we can't have nice things!
Love this. Your weathering is spot on. I like doing weathering but it’s so hard to “hold back” and not do too much......
Thanks Derick. Yeah, and the good thing with the craft paints is they will wipe off if we go too far with it.
I don’t remember who said this but a good model quote it is.
“Don’t go too light but don’t go too far. When we paint models we want them to tell a story”
You did an AMAZING job letting this model tell it’s own story!
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
Built one of these many years ago it’s a great kit
Absolutely stunning and realistic build Chris!!! Yous weathering tips are excellent, and viewing channel is such a joy, thanks for all that you doing to promote our hobby!!
Thanks a lot Ron!
Great job, this is my all time favorite truck, when I lived in Pennsylvania, I had a stone hauling company and had 7 of these and 2 of the DK cab autocars, you did this kit justice my friend, fantastic build and paint.
Thanks, cool info!
As always an amazing build.
What a beautiful beast of a truck. Can’t wait to get my hands on one. I love big rigs. So much detail. So fun to build.
Thanks Rich!
I love the way you bring those American legends back to life ,,
🇺🇸👍
Thanks Logan!
Looks just like the dump trucks I see working on the highways around here. Looks really great- Thanks.
Thank you!
Great build and video. One thing that has changed since the model was first released is the hinged hood. On early editions the hood was hinged in the metal so that the side panels of the hood go up to expose the engine. Nice touch.
Your weathering was spot on. The thing I did in the dump box was to heat a small metal rod and made small and larger dents on the inside where different size of gravel or rocks would dent the metal over time. I had to restrain myself by not making too many.
Thanks Chip!
Awesome build! I just got this kit FINALLY! Finished it about an hour ago. Didn't use the hood panels,and just an observation,the dash tops on almost all these older trucks, regardless of make,were black. The faces were wood grain body color etc.,but the dash tops were black. I love this kit,the cab mounts are a pain in the butt, otherwise,no real issues. Thanks Guy.
Thanks for watching and Happy Thanksgiving!

Love the build Chris! I can't build any thang right now but it sure is a blast watching you build your models. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.
Your truck turned out beautiful., love the weathered look.
Thanks Donald!
Awesome kit, build and review bro! Thank you much my friend, that thing is amazing!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Whitey!
Perfect weathering job Chris. My father own and operated a heavy construction company, so I grew up around all of that kind of stuff. So yeah right on the money with that. You did say it would be big and it sure is!
Thanks a lot Jon!
awesome build! love the dry brushing. another way i like making it look used is by heating and bending the corners of fenders and maybe bending th steps in the middle or coner of the back gate to look like it been put to use
Cool, thanks!
That turned out sooo amazing!!!
It looks so believable like a 1:1 ...
Keep up the good work that you do for
the model car industry my friend...
GOD Bless Ya !!!!
Thanks a lot!
Excellent review. I have now bought this kit and look forward to making it.
Outstanding job! I drive a TT for a living and can really appreciate the dirty work look. Keep up the great work!
Thanks dude!
That is an excellent build Chris! Love the weathering and other details. I recently finished up an Italeri Freightliner dump truck and now I need to grab this one.
Thanks a lot!
Dude that looks amazing! The way you dirtied it up looks very cool! Once again great job
Thanks Tim!
This is some nice work. There’s nothing like a good dump!
Gorgeously dirty! Fantastic build!!
Thanks Jim!
Just ordered one! Haven't build a semi truck in 35 years, I'll likely watch this build for further tips. Fine build, stay warm!
Enjoy!
I work for a construction company and you have nailed it on the dirt and grime for that dump truck, keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Thats one awesome build. Love how it turned out. I buildt the tractor, and now i have to get me the dump truck.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks Tom!
Nice kit! I seriously have to build one when I have more space. I love the segments where you detail your weathering techniques too. Very helpful! I like to glean ideas that are useful! I have to use this idea on a future build. Thanks again for what you do..so keep doin it! lol
Thanks Clifton, glad you like it!
Another superb review, this time offering several excellent tips on weathering. What an education!
Thanks as always!

Fantastic weathering! Great build!
Thanks a lot!
I love your storyline for each of your models. It gives them a unique personality and any if there are any mistakes, blame the driver.
Thanks Charles!
Swinging mudflaps - what detail !
Fantastic job on a truck which looks like it has the same number of parts as a real truck. I love the explanations and guidance during the sub assembly steps. I think if I built the model, using bass wood for the top of the box and then staining and dirtying it up would give it a more authentic look. EVERYONE does things THEIR way, and that is why watching your vids is awesome! I also love the fact you use Rustoleum. Man, Rustoleum should be a sponsor! Look forward to the next one!
Thank you Stu!
Excellent build there mate, it's good to see some of the older vehicles being built.
Thanks you Les!
Nice build. I like all of the tips you offer. I appreciate the fact that you understand not all of us are expert modelers. Thanks for everything my friend
I appreciate that!
Awesome build! Love the patina work too!!
Thank you Bryan!
I think I've only ever tried to build 2 big rig kits.....and probably only completed 1......back in the 1960s, when I was a kid. Then I got into aircraft. Always tempted to buy another big rig though. This one looks pretty good.
nice build of the truck and just the right amount of weathering
Thank you Craig!
Simply Unreal how great you put that puppy together...ordering mine on Amazon now...will totally follow your great video...thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks Richard!
It's funny my middle name is Chuck lol btw my dad had his own dump truck business before he got sick with cancer and passed on but what an fantastic job!!!

Thank you man!
Can't believe I hadn't seen this build, then just the day after, a dump truck passed Me for real, Hell Man, You know Your stuff!, I was looking at all the weathering on it and for one minute thought it WAS one of Your kits!, keep this 'Art' coming, thanks, great job, Greetings from England 👍
Thanks man!
Gorgeous. Love it
Thanks Joe!
Great truck! Nice work!
Thank you!
I remember this kit back in 1988 when I was 13, never did purchase it, I bought instead Mack R600 kit that just came out, also did the Mack DM600 kit too.
Thank you, and thanks for watching the video and leaving a nice comment! Much appreciated!
Big and beautiful.
Thank you!
My Dad when he was my age he got the trailer and dolly for that truck and he gave it to me for Christmas as a gift from him and I’m 13 so that was a long time ago
Thanks man, and thanks for watching!
Outstanding work! It looks like an in service dump truck.
Thank you very much!
Great kit, great build, and fantastic detailing HPI Guy!! One more great detail would be some exhaust soot airbrushed onto the side of the box. I gotta have one of these kits!!
Thanks man!
I've been looking forward to seeing this one built... Beautiful kit... beautiful build :)
Thanks Hisham!
Awesome build thinks Chris
Thnaks Mike!
That turned out freaking awesome Chris!!! 👍👍
Thanks Bud!
another amazing build, awesome!
Thank you!
Great video on the build. And a really nice, weathered truck model.
Thanks William!
Man, your models are everyday real life texture details. You are very pro
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
great job! glad you didn't do the "extreme" driven into the ground version! I was able to build one of the original kits back in the "70's and I did it as a dealer delivered new unit. still have it by the way! the loops on the front bumper reminded me of the ones that were on my dad's '52 F-8 Ford- he bought it used and the fog lights had been removed so people used to ask what they were for. dad would tell them he'd tie gunny sacks behind them and go snipe hunting at midnight with them! oh,the "tank thats on the left side of the cabin front of the door is a luberfiner-an add on item developed in California to extend the life of the engine oil! its no longer used and some owners have converted it to a power steering cooler! by the way I retired last year after doing mechanic work for a Ford/Kenworth dealer after 40 yrs.
Thanks for watching and the info on the luber!
Brazil loves it!
That’s really nice it has the autocar suspension and top feed rear ends looks like a 250,270,290 Cummins very nice
Thanks!
Turned out fantastic!
Thanks Shannon!
Amazing how fast you built that Chris. It looks fantastic!

Thanks Mouse!
Many thanks for the show.Best Regards from Germany
Thanks Thomas, regards to you as well!
In my lifetime I've loaded 100s of thousands of trucks and you know your stuff. You should have a lunchbox and hardhat inside of the cab. Great job, also the mud flaps like to ride on the tires sometimes,you could groove them a little when you fix them.
Thanks a lot Brian!
Wuao amazing biutifol Thank you Sir for video
You have NAILED IT, sir - oops, I think I just got a rock chip on my monitor. My bad, I was looking too close. Realistic? Totally. What a joy to view -
