I added some pix I thought might interest some here in the group. I got these in an e-mail with the accompanying text. Auto Transporters Looks to me these shots were from 48' to 56'. The F-1 Ford trucks are interesting. What I've been told in the past, the 1/2 tons shipped with hub caps and the 3/4 ton were a option! God bless the poor drivers...those COE trucks drove & rode so hard. No power nothing----!! They were lucky to have a AM radio, heater, & some extra running lights. And the GMC truck more then likely had a screaming 6-71 Detroit diesel to keep your foot hammered to the floor with. Some great cars on those transports.....the last photo is really nice. The whole rig "shines " STYLE!!!! I just wish some were in color! These older cars are really cool.
