Autocar's roots go way back into the early 1900s
and became known for tough and rugged trucks. When WWII came, very few
trucks for civilian use were produced and by the end many trucks were worn
out from constant use. After the war, civilian production began again in
full force because of the lack of new trucks. In 1950, when Autocar
introduced the new driver cab, the louver design was eliminated. The old
style flat windshield sleeper cabs were used up until 1953 (the same year
that Autocar was purchased by the White Motor Co.) when the new sleeper
cab was introduced. Autocar became the top-of-the-line marque for White
and marketing focused primarily on specialized applications, such as
construction, logging, mining and oil industries. See the rest of
the"World's Finest" helping do their part to revive America in the 1950s.
