farmer52 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 While we're on the subject of advertisements, does anyone remember one from the 1990's touting the fuel sipping characteristics of the Mack engines that claimed "fuel mileage in the nines"? I distinctly remember reading the ad, but don't recall what was actually depicted in it.The fuel sipping ad that I remember was the bulldog with a wine glass filled with diesel fuel.

vision386 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 I also liked the ad campaign Mack ran not too long ago, "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" a classic!............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Heres the scan. It not great , the ad is in plastic so it wouldnt stay flat against our scanner. Its nice and clear and looks new in person. Anyone else got the other ads? Im curious to see them , JayJay, i have the one with the AC-Model on it,but its hanging on the wall in my "office" i prolly have 50-60 other old Mack ads,and a few with some "other" classic trucks.............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Rob Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I don't want to hear nothin more about no damned "C" model Mack cause I'll have to go get me one. Don't quite know how I'd saddle the pain that would cause however cause "Momma" just got daughter a new/old cast iron skillet and said she couldn't wait to "try it out".This is another of those subjects that "can't be good".Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

It's not the acquistion costs but the contract exit expenditures to deal with that are the greatest setback.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

james j neiweem Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 looking back in time you can see that the C model was an orphan child. L cab, B fenders, B radiator shutters, B chasis& drivetrain. The only unique thing was the butterfly hood. This was Macks first attempt to compete with the white 9000 with the Acar cabs. It really had a short life kind of like the G model.Rob you definately need one of these. Just wear a football helmet for the frying pan. The way I'd do it is tell Mama that you are going out to pick up a C model and that she should have some pan fried steaks ready when you get back.
