BOBWhite Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 The patent office says there is a BROCKWAY GLASS CONTAINER INC and a BROCKWAY PLASTIC PRODUCTS, INC so the patent for the use of the name could have expired long ago but Im not well versed in the legal mumbo jumbo. I say bring back the Superliner to the U.S but there's no chance of that now that the long nose has gone extinct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I might be way off on this, but I think the Brockway name is now owned by The Brockway Truck Preservation Society ( the guys with the show in Cortland every year ) as far as the glass goes, that's in Brockway Pa. ( name of the town ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 You'd like it. Lots of nice trucks and lots of good people. If you happen to be able there when the weather is good it makes a great show even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Yes, I’ll bet maybe I’ll go there this year instead of watts it’s usually about a 1200 dollar trip flying out from Reno but I don’t feel guilty because that’s usually all I do .. thanks for the hot tip I’ve been in the West Coast for 42 years. I have only seen two they were both in LA one was working the other one was at  a  Truck show in Fontana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See ex Tilcon Macks from time to time  that's why this DMM seems unusual. would feel better going there when someone is working on the house being built; then i would hopefully get permission to scope the DM out a lot better. didn't seem to have been a triaxle. possibly a mixer at one time having a body change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over here they were a really popular truck that guys liked. Seems like every year a few more seem to materialize. Maybe I view it that way cause I remember them from when I was young or cause my first truck was one. Draws trucks ( all Brockway ) from several states and even out of the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mowerman Posted December 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2022 Funny, how a memory works. Probably mention my story about holding the steering wheel on a brockways while my dad lit a cigarette that was almost 60 years ago and I could tell you now exactly where we were on route one funny thing I don’t remember anything. The old lady says to me two minutes later ha ha I’m sure I’m not alone in this… Bob 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I'm sure there's an airport in Syracuse, as well as one in Binghamton. Cortland is just about an even distance from either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be about 50 mile for either. Binghamton might be closer but Syracuse is probably busier for more flights in and out.. I doubt if you can get a direct nonstop into either from Reno????

Popular Post davehummell Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 We went up to the Cortlin Brockway Museum last winter and it was closed one of the lady's came to the door and said what were you thinking driving up to here from Wilkes-Barre in a snowstorm, she said come on in and gave us a discount on the price of admission and gave us a guided tour and told us where to get a good lunch great time was had by us. Every winter my cousin and my best friend and I get out to a car museum next month we will be going to the one up by Norwich over 200 cars and motorcycles and hotrods. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
