Some of the most beautiful streamlined trucks came about for a singular purpose: to advertise beer. Sure, they carried it, but to get around certain restrictions on advertising alcohol, the trucks were made to be as eyecatching as possible, and in the Thirties, that meant extreme streamlining. Donald Wood had already published his book American Beer Trucks in 1999, so this article on the same exact topic from the January 2002 issue of Special Interest Autos doesn't cover much new ground for him, but still showcases the variety and occasional beauty of such a specific type of truck. And no, Wood doesn't make mention of Pontiac Trans Ams running interference for these trucks.
