Sporting1 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I was hoping some of the experts here could tell me a little about this emblem that I came across. It's 6" diameter and is brand new never been mounted. At least it looks like it has never been nounted because the 2 posts in the back don't have a scratch on it. Could anyone tell me what year and model this came from? I'm thinking about selling it on ebay but I don't have a clue what I should be asking for it or expect to get.Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Superdog Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 That is a grille emblem for the WL/WS Cruiseliner cabover,made in Hayward,CA.They used it for the first couple years of production,75 to 76.It was the only truck this emblem was ever used on.

vision386 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Superdog is correct,beat me to the punch! i too believe this was only used on the western Cruiseliner series trucks,it was located in the center of the grille,i believe an emblem like this should realize $40.00/$50.00 to the right collector,would'nt mind having it myself actually!....................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

I was gonna purchase a new one from a guy on ebay, said it was from a fire truck that was never used at the station he worked at.Buyer beware sometimes I suppose.

1958 F.W.D. Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I cant figure out how to post a pic.....I was wrong. The emblem on the C fire cabs were circular, similar in size to this one, but not the same. Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Maney Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 The C-model fire emblem was also used on buses, It was large and has the side profile of the old dog and Mack written on it. The Cruise liner emblem comes with a silver or gold Bulldog. As far as I know it was only used on the first year Cruise-liner's from 1975. It was never used on anything else again. There is more info on a post some time ago that was about Mack emblems. I'll see if I can find the post.Here it is...http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/834-model-specific-mack-emblems/page__hl__%2Bmack+%2Bemblems__fromsearch__1 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

yarnall Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Doug,That was a very interesting discussion. I thought it was a fire truck emblem to start, but now realize the difference. Will you post the pictures of the emblems that you mentioned? My 1950 LFT has Mack Diesel in an oval on both sides of the hood. I am told this was only for the trucks with lanovas in them. Not sure if that is true. As you know, most diesel L models have Mack and Diesel script emblems separate. Michael Yarnall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
