Autocar the first commercial truck in the U.S?
Class8 replied to Jamaican Bulldog's topic in Other Truck Makes
There were earlier automobile companies in the US, such as Duryea and Oldsmobile, of course gone now. Autocar was a very early automotive player and built the first motor truck commercially available for sale in 1899, then they focused on cars for a few years. Since all the earlier vehicle companies and brands went out of business that leaves Autocar as the oldest motor vehicle brand as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocar_Company
