Ridin' the Rainbow Book. Complied by Mike Isle & published in 2004.
"Pictures, people & places from the history of Truck-Trailer Manufacturing in New Zealand".
As an industry, it is barely three generations old, yet NZ truck-trailer manufacturing has produced some of the most iconistic characters to grace any industry anywhere. And along with them a remarkable treasure trove of stories.
Here are the men who became legends, often in their own lifetime, & often as much for what the did outside of the workshop as they did within it. Here also are the women who loyally supported their husbands & built families & dynasties while the men built the trailers.
Here are the families themselves, the feuds, the failures, the successes, the sadness & the celebrations.
Above all, here are the stories. Stories of an industry young enough to give us eyewitness testimony, yet stories so astonishing & incredible that they seem almost mythical.
This then is a trawl through the colourful history of a remarkable industry, a writer's tribute to the men & women who buily an industry that helped build a country."
