doubleclutchinweasel Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm glad you fellows posted the info about the gold bulldogs, because from driving Macks in the early to mid 70's I remember well that the gold bulldogs indicated a Maxidyne engine. This shows that my memory hasn't entirely failed me....yet. :-)Give it time, Jeff. Give it time! Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Pawel Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hello!I read here on the forums, but also in a newspaper article, that the Gold Dog indicated the V-8 engine... But this related to the Superliner. Could the policy be different on different models?About that raised hood section again - how often do you see it silver? And is it chrome or stainless steel? Isn't there a danger of sun glare this way?Thanks in advance for the answers and have a nice dayPaweł Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34433-78-promo-valueliner-specs/page/2/#findComment-233624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Apparently, the gold dog meant different things at different times. All the gold dog does now is make my head hurt to think about it. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Pawel Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 'Scuse me, how about that silver trim on top of the hood? Do you see it often? Doesn't it cause glare? That info could help me a lot!

BuckSkin Posted yesterday at 07:30 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:30 AM (edited) On 2/2/2014 at 12:35 AM, Terry T said: I had a calendar from 1978 that had the three "liners" in it in this paint scheme and the January picture had all three, The Cruiserliner, Superliner & Valueliner lined up. I loved that pic! You memory may be off a year; here is the January 1979 Mack Calendar: My photo of the photo =Tuesday_25-February-2025 January 1979 Calendar Line-up of Mack Trucks Thumb-tacked to the office wall at Jones Transport. Barely legible above the green tack at bottom-center of the photo "Mack Western Liner Series" As the calendars had to be created, edited, printed, and delivered to be ready to disperse the last of November/first of December, it is hard to imagine that these could truly be 1979 Model Macks; more likely 1978 Models. Left to Right: Mack Value-Liner, Mack Cruise-Liner, Mack Super-Liner Enjoy... Note: My first post here; I hope it works out.

Terry T Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Old Age & Senility... I wish I still had that calendar. IMO the best paint scheme ever.
