Peterbilt bears a pedigree as long as the roads the trucks travel. The legend traces back to the 1915 Fageol truck line; the first hauler to wear the Peterbilt badge rolled onto the scene in 1939. Since the Peterbilts have journeyed through fifty years of class. From the muscular grille to the six-wheel-drive power, the trucks carrying T. A. Peterman's signature have symbolized reliability. The oval Peterbilt logo is classic, recognized worldwide. Peterbilt: The class of the industry chronicles the men and machines behind the legend. Here is the story of the first logging trucks, the development of the engineering excellence and the current strides forward in the art of aerodynamics. Henry Rasmussen's automobile and truck photography is also well-known. Here, Rasmussen trains his camera on beautifully restored Peterbilts, show trucks and highway carriers, dating from 1939 to 1989. Within are more than 80 full color portraits showcasing the mechanical grace of these trucks; a gallery of black and white photographs details the history. Peterbilt: The class of the industry is a fitting tribute to America's renowned truck.
