American Beer Trucks by Dolald E.Wood

The American beer industry has changed dramatically since the small, locally operated breweries of years past. So too have the trucks that transport the beer from brewer to retailer . In the early days, when horseless carriages were beginning to replace horse-drawn buggies, beer trucks were primitive and slow. Today, they have evolved into highly sophisticated transporters to ensure the beer arrives fresh and cold.

American Beer Trucks traces the complete history of the beer truck. Included are such truck, trailor and body manufacturers as Mack, White, Aleo, Diamond T.Ford, Sterling, Packard, Pierce-Arrow, REO, International, Studebaker, Dart, Dodge, GMC, Kenworth, Fruehauf, Heil, Autocar, Chevrolet, and Peterbilt. Over 300 black-and-white photographs, many of them archival shots, depict trucks from such breweries as Fox Head, Old Milwaukee, Miller, Schiltz, Anheuser-Busch, Bavaria, Guiness, Hamm's, Stroh's, Blatz, Pabst, Lucky Lager and Coors.

No space is as charged as the inside of one's car: at once control center and retreat, public and private, sensuous yet artificial. For many it is a sanctuary from the "outside" world, becoming almost a sacred space.

It is a room we all know, yet few of us give much thought to it. Moreover, the introduction of telephones, video, e-mail, and mapping and driving systems is rapidly transforming the character of the car interior.
