[cruiseliner64]

Hi all,my son and I went to the Mack show in the Netherlands last Sunday.Got cheap flights and hotel so off we went.It was a great show,the trucks were pure class.There were Petes,KWs,Autocar,White 3000s,White Freightliners and Mack B61s,MHs,R models and Cruiseliners.A great day and we met a lot of like minded truck nuts.Hope to make it next year with our Cruiseliner......

That B model looks to have a Clariben fiberglass tilt nose, you don't see many of those on this side of the pond.

Great to hear you enjoyed the event!

I tried my best attending it for a bit less than a decade on an annual basis until I could. The interruption started from COVID times.

In the past I posted a few reports with pics from there. I can find them and put the links. Just not sure if you like me to steal your thunder.

Yeah Paul,it was a great show.Theres nothing like it in Ireland.We have one American show here mostly cars and pick ups.if we are lucky 5 or 6 trucks turn up but its still great to see them.this show was mind blowing,never seen so many vintage American trucks in one place before...

I’ve only seen one in my life and that was in LA. I used to see the truck all the time working in the area, but that was a long long time ago.

Even I was hoping to bring a truck to Netherland, maybe for half a year, to attend Mack show and a few other events. Seems impossible for the nearest future for me now but who knows?

In your case I would put that as a target to participate at least once.

I will look for more links, I definitely published 2 or 3 more show overviews.
