  1. Yes and the black letters before and after say "That man came with (or in) a Mack!"
  2. Hello Alex. The last link included a time stamp, maybe that's why it didn't work. Here is the link without the time stamp and the title of the video which is in persian. I don't know if it will work. The title: مستند آن مرد با ماک آمد - کامل ترین نسخه Otherwise, this is his youtube channel and it's the 3rd most viewed video. https://www.youtube.com/c/bitrun/videos?view=0&sort=p&flow=grid Here also an article in English about the man. https://ifpnews.com/father-of-irans-truck-industry-dies-at-91 Cheers!
  3. Hello Mack lovers. I used to live in Iran and remember the Macks, Whites, Internationals, Mercedes and Volvo trucks and I can tell you, Mack was the big daddy, the biggest name and most popular. I just saw a video on youtube about the Macks. It's in persian though. It shows how it all began. The elderly gentleman in grey suit at 3:31 is the one who started putting them together. He made his own trucks with Cummins engines first. They also cut the chassies and made them longer, built their own cabins and changed the radiators to bigger ones. In the video you can see the different locations where they put together the trucks. He ordered one thousand trucks at a time. He never went to school btw.. Anyways, everything was American back then in Iran, the police motocycles were the latest Harley Davidsons, etc.. Many American car manufactureres had assembly lines in Iran. Even Cadillac, Seville 1978 but it was not popular cuz it was "too small". Take care! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peCqVTQsteY&t=1962s
