Offset-U-bet! Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm looking for anyone out there who might have pictures of late 70's early 80's Nashua Corperation Macks. My father drove for them for close to 20 years (circa 1969-1988). All pictures I had have been lost due to moving and divorce etc... I want so bad to restore a U685 in Nashua Corp color and specs in Honor of my Dad. Thanks for your time Derek, Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29812-old-nashua-corp-pics-wanted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offset-U-bet! Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 May as well buy an authentic Nashua truck,i'm sure they'll all be for sale soon...Nashua Corp out-sourced the trucking side in the mid/late 90's. The peak of the great trucking era was 60's-70's and 80's at that company.

bulldogboy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 May as well buy an authentic Nashua truck,i'm sure they'll all be for sale soon... Don't confuse Nashua Motor Express with Nashua Corporation. The only things that they had in common were; they both were located in Nashua, NH and both ran Mack tractors. NMX is the company that recently went out of business and will be selling their fleet of Macks. Nashua Corp. manufactured tapes, printing inks, and other computer products. The last Mack that I remember was a sharp looking blue "R" model. Offset-U-bet: I think that Nashua Corp. still has an office on D.W. Highway in Merrimack. Maybe you could contact them. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29812-old-nashua-corp-pics-wanted/#findComment-165534 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try them for s**ts and giggles! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29812-old-nashua-corp-pics-wanted/#findComment-166107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offset-U-bet! Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 The old Nashua Corp colors where a interesting blue by the way. I remember my father telling me it was a certain Chrysler blue that the owner at the time loved. It was a cross between a sky blue and a robbins egg blue Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29812-old-nashua-corp-pics-wanted/#findComment-166109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 so, how are they handling selling the macks? i dont see them on any of the sites i frequent.also, did they have any twin screw tractors? i remember seeing a lot of singles . . . . not sure about twins, though . . . . According to Offset-U-bet on another thread, some NMX tractors are for sale at McDevitt's in Manchester. I believe that NMX had at least one twin screw, there may have been others. Most were singles. Sad to see them go; I always liked seeing the Nashua logo on the highways. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29812-old-nashua-corp-pics-wanted/#findComment-166504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Any pics of the used trucks? I checked McDevitt's website for used trucks and did not see any R or U listed. BTW, their used truck inventory is listed using Truck Paper.
