Barry Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 A long-awaited transportation museum and new home for the Mack Trucks Historical Collection is taking shape in downtown Allentown.Structural steel was raised last month for the America On Wheels Transportation Museum on Allentown's riverfront. The facility is designed to tell the story of over-the-road transportation in America, and is expected to draw thousands of visitors to the downtown area each year. The centerpiece of the museum will be a permanent exhibit on the history and contributions of Mack, featuring eight fully restored vintage trucks from the Mack Museum's collection. When open, America On Wheels will also be home to the offices of the Mack Trucks Historical Collection organization, and its archive of Mack sales records and technical information stretching back to the founding of the company in 1900.America On Wheels is scheduled to open to the public in the spring of 2008.
