DESCRIPTION:
Included is a list of production figures and model designations for all Peterbilts 1939-1988.. Famed automotive photographer Henry Rasmussen has trained his camera on beautifully restored Peterbilts, fancy show trucks, and big rigs at work. The legend of Peterbilt is featured in a photographic essay of more than 80 color images and a gallery of nostalgic black-and-white photographs, showing early Fageol trucks, one of the oldest surviving original Peterbilts of 1939, and a host of other trucks built through 1988

Jose Lopez said Good Peterbilt Book, The first One on Peterbilts.. This was the First book On Peterbilts Ever, Came out in 1989,MBI(im A little upset because i brought the original one, different red & white cover then i got this one thinking it was updated but it was not they are exactly the same!)This was Done by Henry Rasmussen who I was told sadly passed away years back. Good Book. Lots of Classic Petes. The newest one even in the revised book is 1989!. so no New "Beterbilts' in this book after 89' sadly. But a Good Book for a Peterblt Library. Some Good Reading. And Alot of Pictures.I under. Peterbilt: Class of the Industry Thanks to Motorbooks for reprinting this-and-not putting additions to the original, or making deletions.This book is about old Peterbilts,the newest being 1989,classics in themselves today.As usual with Henry,excellent photos,and an adequate text. These trucks pictured are just not show trucks,but many are workers. Photos and text on the earliest Peterbilts are top notch!
