Yesteryear Collection



The (Y33-1) 1930 Mack AC Truck joined the range in 1990 when it was released in the livery of Goodyear Transcontinental Motor Express.
Released in 1990 in the livery of Goodyear Transcontinental Motor Express. Originally it was intended to release this livery on the (Y30-1) but when it was realised that the (Y30-1) was fitted with solid tyres they decided to fit pneumatic tyres instead and release the model as the (Y33-1).
The plastic baseplate was rejected in favour of the diecast one used on the Y23 Tanker so most of the model is marked Y30 but the baseplate is marked Y23 Tanker and the box is marked Y33.

Livery: (Tampo)
'TRANSCONTINENTAL MOTOR EXPRESS' with 'GOODYEAR' and Goodyear's trademark of Mercury's winged foot, also 'AKRON' and 'VIA LINCOLN HIGHWAY' in white on both sides of truck.
'BOSTON SAN FRANCISCO' in white on dark grey panel on both sides of truck.
A white vertical rectangle with a slate blue 'L' below red strip and slate blue 'LINCOLN' and above slate blue 'HIGHWAY' and slate blue strip on both sides of truck.
'GOODYEAR' in white on front of truck.
Mack logo in white on a black panel within white coachline on front of bonnet.
White coachlines on cab rear panels, cab doors and front panels.

Variations/Rarities: There are two very similar shades of blue used for the body one being slightly lighter which matches the wheels and another shade which is slightly darker

Interesting Facts: The van has white grey and red tampo for Goodyear "Via the Lincoln Highway" which was the first coast to coast interstate highway that ran from Times Square in New York to Lincoln Park in San Francisco. The Goodyear President Mr Frank A. Seiberling was also the President of the Lincoln Highway Association for many years.
