An annual convention has been held each year since 1972, with an antique truck show, open to the public, added in 1980. These shows have grown from 23 trucks in 1980 to over 1,000 trucks, fire apparatus, buses and RV's, military and special interest vehicles. The videos posted on this channel include snippets of those conventions along with other videos produced by the American Truck Historical Society.

I can't wait to get back to that library! Library visiting tip - write down in advance things that you want to look up while you are there. Once you arrive, your so overwhelmed with all the great information - you may forget what you came for!
OMG!!video brings back so many memories. I worked for Transcon so many years what a great company. The good ones all gone now, I loved driving. Thanks for the video.
I visited the library Jan 2023 for 2 full days. All I can say is OVERWHELMINGLY GREAT! While looking for certain items you stumble across others. Working at a Volvo dealership for over 20 years I never knew Volvo made an attempt to (and did) bring trucks to this country in the 50's (then what happened (to be explored) . Then I stumbled across a picture of a FWD Ready Mix truck from my home town when I was a kid (in a Detroit Diesel advertisement), what memories! I can't wait to get back. For those passing through or making it a destination trip - good hotels very close by and great local food too.
this video seems to be from the 1940’s or early ‘50’s from the grill assemblies shown. Old Autocars never died. They were built like tanks and all steel. No fiberglass front ends. There is Autocar dump truck now working road constr in my neighborhood. Its at least 50 yrs old and runs like a clock.
Really appreciate this video. A whole lot of folks can't even begin to appreciate EVERY FACET that goes into everything that's purchased. Hopefully this will help a lot of people see and appreciate everything more. Thanks again, from an OTR driver.
