Our heads can be turned by the scale of FAMOs etc., but that NO (2, 3, 6, 7? NM?) is a beast, isn't it. Got me flicking through Vanderveen's Mack book. Reminding me I'm useless at ID-ing these things. Shame their half-tracks didn't progress more. Wonder if there's any prototype survivors. (Aesthetic/nerd shame... the world did OK without halftracks...)
They've just evolved to fit in different environments and become things like snowmobiles of which thee are plenty around - like dinosaurs and birds
Looks like there is room for six guys sitting across the front seat. Also the gi-normous chain links and the standard sized headlights that look like turn signals
Mack model B's are my latest nerd obsession. Here's one in 1943 Three Stooges 'Dizzy Pilots' Followed by the competition from White with their Packard inspired grill. Not sure why the stooges are carrying Trap Door Springfields since in many of their shorts from this era they have Mausers or 03 Springfields. Doesn't take much to amuse me
Nice sales poster by Peter Helck. Model E followed by a Model AC. Sentry has M1917 (Brodie) helmet and an M1 Peter Helck
Horrible crash of AC. It looks like the whole from axle was knocked off. The car engine looks like an OHV straight 6 or 8 and the only ones I can think of in that era are the Chevy 6 and the Buick 8 but the manifolds are are the wrong side for them. Probably fatalities, unfortunately.
Antique Truck Club of America 2021 show. Over 1000 trucks showed up this year. Rare chain drive L model Mack from late forties Mack AB First Autocar truck model. 1921 two cylinder opposed twin
I was just watching a great film the other night, a favorite of mine. And wouldn't you know, an old Mack plays a prominent role in it. Anyone else recall?
