Popular Post cruiseliner64 Posted October 13 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 13 Hi all,well iv just finnished reading the Convoy book and i really really enjoyed it.Many thanks to Dan Bruno and Mike Siegel for taking the time to research and write it.I know what the movie means to my son and I.We bought our Cruiseliner because of the interest in American trucks this film infected us with.When,at 14years of age I saw that Cruiseliner in that movie that was it,I was getting one somehow somewhere sometime.It wasnt untill 2010 we saw one at a show here in Ireland and the dream of owning one,still simmering in my head became a rageing inferno.By this time my son was as big into American trucks as I was however at that time we couldnt afford one.As time went on the house and other bills were paid off but there was no Cruiseliner to be found.We almost bought a GMC Astro but passed on it because it had to be a Cruiseliner.Then out of the blue the Cruiseliner we had seen at the show came up for sale and we got it.I have struggled to put into words the insane love for a Cruiseliner but Dan Bruno put it perfectly on page 244 of the book when he wrote"experiencing the physical manifestation of ones dreams is among the most powerful human experiences"...well said Dan it explains it perfectly......

I think you will enjoy it.i certainly did.I'd love to know what happened to all the film not used in the finnished movie.In the book it said 27 reels of film were shot but the finnished movie amounted to 3 reels...bound to be some great scenes on the unused reels...

Freightrain Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 I did get the book and made a really quick read of it. Got through 3/4 of it by bed time the first day. I couldn't put it down, I wanted to know more and more. What a phenomenal job was done to complete this Dan. Thanks for the effort. 1 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

cruiseliner64 Posted December 6 Author Share Posted December 6 Hi,anyone get the "Steelbox" version of Convoy?? Iv just ordered it.It seems there is loads of extra still pictures,interviews with cast members and scenes not used in the movie.Should be worth having...
