Smithy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I have recently returned from a trip to Holland and while I was there I visited the Heineken Experience. The picture below caught my eye as I think it's a Mack, however I couldn't decide if it was and if it had been used by the military or was purely just civi spec. All the caption said was that it had been taken in 1954. Any help much appreciated. Edited February 24, 2012 by Smithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrook Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Its a model L built sometime between 1940 and 1956. Difficult to say whether it was military or civilian to begin with, but other than the wreckers the military Macks tended to either be E or N models, with the majority of the rest built for and used by civilian industry. The L was the mainstay of Macks post-war heavy highway truck line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
