Museum Celebrates the History of Work Trucks

Nov. 2, 2016
Paying tribute to the role of work trucks in U.S. history

America’s Car Museum (ACM), an entity of America’s Automotive Trust, is an institution that believes it is designed to “celebrate America’s love affair with the automobile” and help citizens of all ages learn how motorized vehicles shaped U.S. society. To that end, ACM is paying homage to work trucks with a special exhibit opening this month entitled Tools of the Trade – Powering the Working Class that displays 15 vintage vehicles that helped shape the U.S. economy. The new exhibit features a wide range of “work vehicles” including police “paddy wagons,” grocer’s trucks, delivery vehicles and more. (All photos courtesy of ACM)
