Popular Post j hancock Posted November 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2019 Dick Kemp's Mack Truck Museum was located in Hillsborough, NH. It was disbanded and auctioned after his passing. I am going to try and put all the photos I took of his trucks in this thread over time. Will start it off with Big Red which now has The Mahan Collection Foundation as its caretaker. The first picture was taken a few days in advance of the auction. The second picture is at the 2012 ATHS national show in Springfield, MA after the Mahan crew had applied some polish. 8 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

bulldogboy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I used to make deliveries to Sylvania in Hillsborough and would drive by Kemp's. I never stopped in. I remember that he had Litchfield, NH Fire Department's 1937 Maxim sedan cab pumper and one of Lowell, MA Fire Department's Mack "C" model pumpers with the roof cut off of it. I think that the roof was put on Hopkinton, NH Fire Department's semi-cab Mack "C" model ladder truck.

Wish I could say that I have pictures of everything but some trucks were so packed in that would have been impossible. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Popular Post j hancock Posted December 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2019 Not a great picture but some kids used to ride in style in a Mack E model bus. Was at Kemp's for years and is now in PA with some thoughts of a restoration. 3 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Mike Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I have a CD of several different folks trucks, I believe it is Kemp's Mack Yard that had many trucks there for restoration. Jim Hall's red B Model was shown on the CD also, pulling a single axle trailer.
