Description: The American pickup has always been known for its hard-working, easy handling nature, but has mainly served as a light workhorse. As pickups became more mainstream, many were created with high-performance in mind. Dubbed Muscle Trucks - the roots of these prestigious pickups go back to 1955, when Chevrolet introduced the Cameo Carrier. While not a hot rod, the Cameo was super cool and it proved that customers would buy a truck that could play as well as work. Ford then followed with its crossover pioneer, the Ranchero, which was half car, half truck. The Ranchero inspired Chevrolet`s El Camino, and both of these hybrids featured high-performance variations. Since then, these styles of machines have grown to become the biggest selling vehicles in the USA. This colourful book displays all the well known models, plus a few that you won`t be familiar with.
