Budd Car The RDC

Handsomely done history of the Budd Corporation's RDC cars, beginning with their predecessors such as the Doodlebug and then moving through design, early models, trial runs, the final successful design, commercial success, foreign fleets, a look at the largest fleet, an analysis of its decline, and the effort to revive the brand through the SPV-2000. Illustrated throughout with photos (mostly in sharp color that makes the cars pop but a few in black and white). Includes RDC and SPVs rosters by serial number and owner with disposition. With bibliography. 226 pages.
