R W Burgess Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Great story Ken!Loved that "Wanted-Educated Fool......" sign. A lot of truth in that. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenHupp20 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Dick had a few other signs as well . We shoot every third salesman, the second just left.One of the best parts was not just the trucks outside , but the "office" or back room with all the walls covered with photos of trucks & construction equipment many stuck or on their sides , and the stories ! He was unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I've known people like him Ken.They are getting scarce. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenHupp20 Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I took some photos at Kemp's yesterday . I thought some of you might enjoy seeing them . It would be difficult in words or these 5 photos to describe the enormity or diversity of this collection. It will all be auctioned off sometime in the near furure. Dick was not a restorer,but loved the "stuff" and wanted to save it from the junkyard.Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rideswithchuck Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 There aren't many Mack Truck threads in this forum. I hope this fits here. I was privileged to ride in a 1951 Mack Model A last week end. Here is video of that adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Walling Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I once painted a chain drive "C" cab Mack for a dealer to be used as a display in his used truck lot. It was not a restoration but a preservation so many details were just painted to protect from further deteroration. Many enjoyed looking at it and one day, a older gentelman asked why I diden't paint the doors. I told him "because it doesn't have them. He reached over, and to my embrassment. lifted the doors stright up from the door sills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landman Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Here's one a road contractor near here has preserved for posterity. I'm not sure anymore whether it was his first truck or his first Mack. He also owns one of very few 1937 DeSoto Convertible sedans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
