vision386 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I saw a post recently,about the new "Transformers" movie featuring some Mack models,just wondered why we don't have a restored Superliner touring the country to promote the new "Cars" movie? Our Aussie friends down under have a sharp looking Trident doing just that!...............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

Barry Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I think Mack sponsored the Blue Pinnacle for the tour but I do agree...a red Superliner would be cool! Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vision386 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Don't know about any european models,the only one in the original movie was based on a Superliner II.............voiced by John Ratzenberger ( The mailman from cheers).........Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

GearheadGrrrl Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Problem is that Mack under Renault's "leadership" killed the Superliner and Volvo killed the last of the R models. Thus there's no point in promoting a product you're no longer making. Paccar doesn't have this problem, as they've had the good sense to keep their legacy products like the W900 and 359 in production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 they haven't made 359's in a long time I think you mean the 379 and now the 389. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
