DAF torpedofront-trucks - Dertig jaar stoere neuzen 1957-1986: Torpedo, N 2500 en N 2800

In 1957, DAF introduced a new series of trucks with a torpedo front, initially without a cabin and from 1958 onwards, with a factory cabin. The American-style torpedoes with their panoramic windshields were popular, especially among private carriers.

In 1973, after a brief flirtation with International, DAF launched the N2500 torpedo-front series, based on the IH Paystar, which did not gain much traction.

However, the N2800 torpedoes from 1980 proved to be a great success, robust trucks that performed well, particularly in Africa and the Middle East.

After Jan de Rooy won the Paris-Dakar rally in 1982 with 'De Neus' (The Nose), the N2800 became a sought-after heavy truck in the Netherlands. This book narrates the history of thirty years of robust DAF front designs. Approximately 8000 units of the original torpedoes were produced, only 8 of the N 2500, and about 800 of the N 2800 series. In addition to technical data, the book includes approximately 300 illustrations, half of which are in color.

DAF 7- en 6 strepers - vrachtwagens uit de jaren vijftig

This eighteenth book in the DAF series covers the first DAF trucks, the 7- and 6-stripers. The photos depict transport in the 1950s, post-war reconstruction, simple life, hard work, and the streets of that time.
The choice of the 7- and 6-stripers is intentional, as both models featured a grille with chrome strips and a windshield with a central pillar and were produced by DAF in the 1950s.
As much information as possible has been added to the images. Most photos are in black and white, as was common at the time, but the book also includes color scans of brochure covers, pages from catalogs, specification sheets, and drawings.
From the late 1950s, DAF increasingly published color photos, which have a dedicated section in this book. The book concludes with an overview of the DAF models available in the 1950s.
