hatcity Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Being Superbowl weekend, I was thinking back about all the great commercials.Seem to remember one that featured a MACK COE. Can't recall if a Cruiseliner or MH.Do remember it was a comedian driving one thru all kinds of road hazards, and when reaching destination, the crowd carried the cab/chassis away in celebratory victory. Leaving the driver behind.Anyone remember this? Was it for MACK? or ..

kscarbel Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I do recall that.Enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgs_J8PX3uQThe Super-Liner lives on. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/30049-mack-australia-building-the-super-liner-better-than-ever/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Are they just rebadging the Titan?No. The Titan is different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYszfaKpLo8The Super-Liner uses the Volvo VN chassis (rebadged as Mack "Advantage" chassis).The Titan utilizes the heavier Volvo VHD vocational chassis (rebadged as Mack "Cornerstone" chassis). Note: After acquiring Mack Trucks in 2000, Volvo Group closed Mack Australia's plant in Richlands, and moved production to the Volvo plant in Wacol, reason being that Volvo planned to build Mack-branded trucks on the Volvo platform.This is a real Mack Titan, of course featuring the legendary Mack/Scania E9 V-8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysT9ZskB6eY.

57 bcr Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 hatcity,There was an ad for Ryder featuring a Cruise-Liner that was on the cover of the BULLDOG in the late '70's. Never did see the commercial itself,but it had to do with abunch of guys,picking up the truck and carrying it while cheering (like the way the players pick up their winning coach). I'll see if I can find that cover and post it. Al 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Superdog Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Al is right,it was a commercial for Ryder rentals. There was a string of longer running ads featuring a female driver named Big Sal and her Cruiseliner, anyone else remember?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
