Designed in 1914, the thoroughly tested Mack was in full production by January 1916. Used by the Allies during World War I, it lived up to its nickname 'Bull Dog Mack' given by the British when they saw its appearance and rugged qualities.Further development after the war enabled Mack to fully share in satisfying the demand for lorries as U.S.Government pushed ahead with its road building programme.The 1930 Mack had a 4 cylinder 7.7 litre engine, a 3 speed gear box and a final drive by rear chains.

The Mack AC was built in America from 1916 to 1939. A total of 40,000 were built, of which 2000 were shipped to England during the First World War.

This 1985 release from Models of Yesteryear is found in Conoco and Texaco liveries. In both cases the lorries are red, the Conoco tank can be red or white, the Texaco tank is red. Neither version is particularly rare or attracts a premium.
