At an antique truck show held recently in Mack's hometown of Macungie, PA, a pack of classic Bulldogs were on display. Pictured is a B61 model, one of the most recognized and famous antique Mack trucks. Rolled out in the 1950s, the B61 with its fresh styling, comfortable cab, and the then-new Mack Thermodyne diesel engine became one of the most popular conventional trucks right into the '60s.
