Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

1926 Autocar Flatbed - By Randy Sawyer


The 1926 Autocar was one of the best known early trucks. This model was made from scratch and inspired by an illustration in an out of print book, "American Truck Spotters Guide 1920 - 1970." The wheels are modified Circus Craft wagon wheels with shaped 7/16" tubing added for the solid rubber tires. Styrene, brass, and scale lumber were used throughout the construction. The 1910 Stutz Bearcat on deck was kitbashed from an old Snapperroo kit in the '70s and added to the scene just for fun.
