mowerman Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Well after rereading the first post it looks like it was pretty much kept up since new…. Probably adds to the value..

Popular Post Mike Harbison Posted January 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2022 One very major flaw I see,kinda hard to believe someone would go to that much work and then totally drop the ball on the hood ornament. Incorrect Bulldog and no mount,bolted it right to shell. I try not to be a nitpicker,as scratches,dents,rust , run or 2,stuff like that dont bother me as most of my stuff has most I mentioned,but the one thing that really bothers me is a modern dog where a old style one should be. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69044-1943-mack-sold-at-mecum/#findComment-487049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 That’s really weird I didn’t even notice that I wasn’t paying any attention to the bulldog at all you wonder if the fire house old owned it entire time what happened to the original shit… bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69044-1943-mack-sold-at-mecum/#findComment-487108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 might be the gold dog was installed to make the parade vehicle look better . very few spectators would notice. gold dog blends with gold pin stripes. trophy wise, pretty is points to the judges.

mrsmackpaul Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Might be as simple as that, I was thinking the local Mack dealer probably gave it to them 40 years ago because it matches the goldleaf work so well Either way I'm sure they weren't thinking of collectors 40 years later Paul Edited January 16, 2022 by mrsmackpaul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69044-1943-mack-sold-at-mecum/#findComment-487181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
