fxfymn Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Did anyone happen to catch the History Channels show Modern Marvels - American Truckers that was aired last night? The show was about the contributions of trucks and truckers to the economy as well as segments on various types of specialty rigs such as tow trucks. One major segment was about Mack and included a visit to a collection in NJ that featured quite a few Bull Dogs as well as other newer models. I cannot recall the name or exact location of the collection, but I'm sure someone here will know. The show was very complimentary to Mack.

The show was very complimentary to Mack.The mans name is Gary Maham (not sure if i spelled his last name cor.) he lives in Millington NJ.I have been to his place a few times. I think he has 4 big pole barns full of trucks!! mostly Mack's but he does have a nice 360 Brockway with A 1693 thats showroom!! he also has an old Pete (late 40's) in the same shape an I think he has a few A-Cars as well. The one truck that was cool was the one old logging Mack that some one trans-planted a Cat diesel in!!

Freightrain Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Lindsey did an ATHS VHS tape at his place with a couple of his trucks. The blue Pete and the big Mack dump.

Blackened Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 They said that the "R" model was the most popular Mack with over 400K units sold. I think that number is pretty low considering how long the design has been around.
