Because of their legendary toughness and dependability, MACK trucks were always popular among fire departments. One truck that was adapted to fire fighting use and was particularly effective was the MACK AC "Bulldog". Introduced in 1915, the AC Bulldog was converted to a fire fighting vehicle after its proud performance in World War I. In fact, this MACK AC Water Tower Truck was particularly sought after because it enabled fire fighters to get closer to a blaze in tall buildings. The firemen raised and rotated the tower towards the fire, and then let loose with a high-pressure water gun.
Now, the classic 1920 MACK AC Water Tower Truck is recreated in a precision-engineered die-cast replica. This exciting model comes with a wealth of intricate detail - from the spidery lattice-work of the tower to the chock blocks chained together to secure the wheels. Your 1920 MACK AC Water Tower Truck is the perfect complement to The International Fire Engine Collection: The Specialized Vehicles Edition. This authentic replica is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
