Autocar » C-50 / C-60 / C-70 / C-80 / C-90
In 1940 all Autocars changed their indexing. The bonneted trucks received the letter C, and the cabover - the letter U. The numbers in the index indicate the difference of weight and power characteristics of trucks. Autocar heavy gasoline trucks were called C-50 / C-60 / C-70 / C-80 / C-90.
