Gmerrill0516 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 The BB based bus closet to the camera looks like it has an early super single on the rear. Those are nice pictures. Thanks all for posting. I might have ridden the bus more often as a youth if it had been a Mack.. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43535-mack-buses/page/2/#findComment-320278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Duals 5.00 x 38. I saw that also and blow it up to see. AC Fire trucks had "vintage super singles" though.

Said his mailbox was full.I'll have to try again about that and check on the bus, too....Try to call him and do it many times. He's a really great guy but it seems he preferes to be being busy with heavy metal than with phone talks wich you know use to be zero efficient sometimes.

bbigrig Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Mack Buses were quite common here in Canada especially in Toronto. The Toronto Transit Commission (Wrenching at the TTC is my full time job) was a big user of Mack over the years. The last Macks in the fleet lasted until the late 60's. Just so Happens that Alfred Pelletier former Head of Mack was a Mechanic at the TTC for years before he started working for Mack Trucks. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43535-mack-buses/page/2/#findComment-320945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Why did GM dominate the bus market? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43535-mack-buses/page/2/#findComment-320947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 GM had National and International dealer and support network with "brand recognition. Plus the Detroit Diesel power plant and post WWII the Hydramatic transmission. By sheer production and corporate size GM could under cut the price of each bus below it competitors prices. GM also bought out a lot of it competitors like Fageol.Grey-Hound used both GM and MACK buses up to the early 1960's and used MACK buses as far back as the early 1930's. In my opinion MACK seemed to be mainly East Coast and Eastern Canada.

kscarbel2 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Mack had some large western bus operators, including San Francisco of course, and Portland.I always liked that Volkswagen advertisement. A lot to be said about flattery.. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43535-mack-buses/page/2/#findComment-320984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
