1965 Bowles Front Loader

This gleaming 1965 Diamond T was on its way to Texas to join the fleet of American Container Service in Dallas. The body is a Partial Packer manufactured by S. Vincen Bowles Incorporated of Sun Valley, California, a firm that pioneered the development of the front loader during the 1950's.

An all-new, completely revised history of Bowles is featured in this issue, including 107 images, most from the company archives and never before published. Click here to go directly to the Bowles Album.
