From barbed beak to Bulldog

The truck has gone through a really big change in almost a hundred years. From spike beak to bulldog tells the reader extensively about the most important development stages of trucks from the 1920s to the 1950s. The book is not a detailed brand-specific information book, but an overview of a wide range of manufacturing countries and brands and how the decades have affected the general development of trucks.

The historical period at the beginning of the book - the transfer of the industrial revolution of the 20s and 30s from across the ocean to Europe and the Europeanization of the Finnish car stock at the same time - is illustrated with original pictures and advertisements that come from the collections of the owner and several enthusiasts. The brand section of the book is illustrated with 20s-50s museum trucks photographed by Mikko Hiitu and other enthusiasts in various museums and events. These pictures are like a tribute to the old museum car fleet that has been preserved to this day, which enthusiasts have been restoring to driving condition for years.
