2. On top of that foundation, he places meaningful, strong archival images that haven’t been widely used by others.
3. He provides another layer of understanding by photographing and highlighting professionally restored, extant examples of Mack trucks.
4. And finally, he tops it all with a light mix of rare, period color images that show the trucks in military service.
Big Macks is a delicious celebration of some of the largest and mightiest trucks of WWII and beyond: Mack NO-1s through NO-7s, NQs, and even the M125s and M125A1s of the Cold War era. Order today before quantities run out! As far as The Big Macks is concerned (and with a nod to McDonald’s)...
