alex g Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I saw one like this at the show in Clifford Ontario unrestored that is a great example of a survivor.It's a shame when the price of scrap rises and we lose all our history.

41chevy Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Nice Mike. Late 1916 going by the second design hood and early cowl and fenders. No question its a rarity to survive WWI .

Superdog Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 whats the year of the earliest one in captivaty.this one must be close.the very first production AC,serial # 7000 is alive,well,and beautifully restored, living a life of comfort at the Iowa 80 truckstop in Walcott,IA.It does sometimes getout to do some touring,but most of the time it's on display in the lobby of corporate headquarters.

Kemps had no access panel either. There are 3 different versions of the final design hood as far as I've found. Top access panel and different count on the side louvers...not counting the longer 6 cylinder hood. The different louver count seems to be wither the engine is the standard or the "high hat" unit but I'm not positive.The one I'm restoringBest of the parts trucks Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28409-1916-ac-mack/#findComment-146705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
