Synopsis

Models of commercial vehicles have always been popular, and the varied shapes of trucks, vans, tankers, fire engines, and buses have a great appeal. Some models are quite colorful, with delightful decals added to their bright paintwork, advertising tea, biscuits, newspapers, oil, and many other proprietary goods. The older models carry fascinating touches of this social history on their sides. Dr. Gibson's lively text outlines the development of the commercial vehicle, from the small, squat shapes early in this century to the sleek vans and vast tankers and trucks of today, from steam carriages to modern city bus.
