  1. Global warming an excuse for the first ever global tax to save the planet.
  2. Way to go Navistar board of directors. You just let the rattlesnake in the mouse house. Are you people to dumb to see the historical implications of Europe gobbling up US industries. I think not. You are just purposefully carrying out your new world order plans. Old Europe Royalty money in action.
  3. Pretty clever rollout with their customer colors and logos. Looks pretty slippery. Front profile not bad. Side profile not so good IMHO. Interior plastic masterpiece if you like plastic.
  4. KS I am on board with USPS buying American. Yes milkman that Iveco is a good looking vehicle. It kind of has the general shape of a Volvo VN but much better. That would be a good start for the Mack new cab. By the way where is the new Mack cab. Probably the same place as the US Superliner/Trident, forward mixer, E-9, Titan sleepers, Cummins diesel option, etc. etc.
  5. I'll take the looks of an MH any day. Just can't coddle up to the Europeon designs.
  6. I believe the proposed MP8 TC is slated to be 540-550 HP
  7. Phew,That was a close one, I thought it was going to be Iveco taking over Navistar.
  8. Ditto that BCR. I used to see that Mack dealership on the way to Comisky Park also. The year Maris hit 61 I got to see him hit one. Mantle followed with a rising line drive that hit the center field score board. Kind of forgot about Mack's that day.
  9. Are the current Detroit Diesels total Mercedes influence? Is there any Detroit 4 cycle influence left.
  10. The latest edition of wheels of time is a real treat. They have an extensive article on the L model Macks.
  11. I never heard of BMT Investors.
  12. I guess he is gambling on Volvo moving in a positive direction. Might be a time to buy.
  13. When Mack was Mack. Then again you could argue that Mack hasn't been Mack since before Signal.
  14. Lets not call it a glider but can a Mack cab and chassis be purchased from the factory? It seems that if the factory is not at full production they could make it so that it wouldn't be disruptive to production.
  15. How about the AP. Was that a bigger version of the AC.
  16. Navistar also has a big military presence
  17. Volkswagon should pack their bags and head back to Germany and take Diamler and Siemans with you. Who the Hell won the war anyway.
  18. Good picture for seeing the contrast between the L and B cabs.
  19. Mack mechanical E-6 350, E-7 400, E9 500 with Mack 18 speed, or Allison auto and Mack rears with camel backs or Hendrickson suspension might be a start. Aluminum cab to boot lasts a long time.
  20. Boat ride the Vision and the CH keep the R's here
  21. Kind of looks like a ford aero max with camofloge
  22. Makes you wonder if Mack was the first manufacturer to use I beams as frames.
  23. Yup that's the one and there was another one just like it. This was probably used during the construction of the Northfield mountain pumped storage power plant. When they tore down the Connecticut Yankee power plant they used the A-car AP 19.
  24. From time to time I hear reference on this site to the Marino Mack LRSW and their Autocar AP-19. Actually they had or have two of these LR beasts. They were both painted red and black about fifteen-twenty years ago in Portland Ct. I know Marino was bought out by Bernhard a few years ago. I am not sure if they still have the Macks or the Autocar.
