Description
Autocar Tri-Axle Dump Truck used for sale
founded by the ingenious mechanical engineer
Louis Semple Clarke.
Among Clarke's many innovations
were the spark plug for gasoline engines
and the patented porcelain-insulated spark plug process
which was sold to Champion,
and remains the industry standard today
And if you've ever wondered
why we drive on the left side of the car,
Clarke's insistence on placing the driver
on the left hand side of the vehicle
led to that standardization throughout most
of the automotive industry worldwide.
So, thanks to Mr. Clarke,
we drive on the right side of the road.
began in 1899 in Ardmore, Pennsylvania
as a manufacturer of Brass Era automobiles,
and starting in 1907, trucks.
Although the last cars were produced in 1912,
the Autocar name remained,
and the company continued as a truck maker.
In 1953 they were taken over
by the White Motor Company,
which was taken over in turn by
Volvo Trucks in 1980
with Autocar continuing as a key division.
In 2001, it was sold to Grand Vehicle Works Holdings,
which still continues to use
the brand name for their line of trucks.
The Autocar Company is now a
Hagerstown, Indiana based
manufacturer specializing in refuse trucks.
powered by a Cummins 400 Big Cam engine
and equipped with an Eaton-Fuller 8LL transmission.
It has a 15' Fruehauf dump bed.
This Autocar could use a bath,
but everything that counts
is structurally and mechanically sound.
This truck's true miles are unknown,
but between its condition
and its 80mph top speed,
you'll be adding plenty of your own soon enough.
This is a truck with a history,
but it's not ready to be put out to pasture.
This is one machine
that needs to be put through its paces
under a full load
to be fully appreciated.
With TLC and proper maintenance,
don't be surprised
if she's got another 30 years in her.
This Truck is Located in Duryea, PA 18642
