Great Cars of the Great Plains for sale in Toledo, Ohio

$8

Hardcover book covers the history of five early 20th century vehicle & & truck producers from the Midwestern states of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, & & Nebraska. In those early days of automotive power builders emerged all over the rural United States to serve the rural market of farmers, farming communities and dirt/mud roads. Many got their beginning from producing farm wagons or early tractors; most of them had disappeared by the Great Depression. The cars covered in this book - in the order revealed in the photo of the back cover, going clock-wise from upper left - are the Smith auto of Kansas [" The World's Greatest $2500 Car"]; the Luverne automobile of Minnesota [" Cars that Last a Lifetime"]; the Spaulding auto of Iowa [" Honestly Constructed of Honest Materials"]; the Moon automobile of Missouri [" An Aggregation of Well-Tried-Out Constructions"]; and the powerful Patriot truck of Nebraska [" Every Farmer Needs One"] What the producers may have lacked in catchy advertising phrases they made up for in rugged dependability, character, and honesty. Pictures of early production lines, marketing promotions, and early toughness testing are remarkable, but show conditions that are difficult to understand today. 258 pages w/numerous pictures and full specs on each vehicle. Pages are clean; binding is tight. Dust cover. c. 1995 Any concerns, please ask.
