Hawkeye dealer starts painting Macks gold long time ago

[57 bcr]

Taken from an early '68 BULLDOG.This dealer might have started the paint scheme that was close to one used on the 300-Series trucks.What do you think?

[j hancock]

Innovative dealer with an understanding of marketing.

Check out the style, white rims, low chrome. Nice reminder of the way it was.

F & W Mack was a top notch dealer,unfortunately they are no longer. Located in Cedar Rapids ,Iowa,their huge neon Mack sign was always a sight to look forward too. I never knew Wayne,but got to be good friends with his son,Tom. He told me his Dad used to always try to get the first truck built (serial # 1001) of a new model to sell whenever he could. He still has the porcelain Mack sign in the pic.

Do you know what that porcelain sign would be worth!

[Superdog]

I know he turned down $3500 10 years ago

The photo there of the mack dealer in Tulsa is were I started to work on trucks in that building in 1965.

Good eye there maxidyne 237 on the old 1/2 dog on the door! Before this,I had only noticed them on early RL/RS Macks & MB's!

[Green Dash]

Great pic1

That would be quite a coincidence if Mack didn't get the idea for the 300 paint and stripes from that truck.

[Maddog13407]

yup, and the corner dogs in the door. all that's missin is the gold stripe tires. heres an interesting fact, I saw an old ad for Mohawk Tires the other day, they showed gold stripe truck tires just like the ones the Maxidyne trucks had
