“There’s no bulldog on the hood of this early truck, but it’s the truck that gave Mack its Bulldog-tough identity,” said Mike Reardon, Mack vice president, marketing.
During World War I, Mack delivered approximately 3,000 AC Models of the 3 1/2, 5 1/2, and 7 1/2 ton capacity to the United States government and its allies. The AC truck earned the nickname “Bulldog” from British soldiers while it was busy dodging bullets and trudging through the mud in France.
The Mack AC on display in Las Vegas is the first one ever built. It was initially displayed at the Boston Auto Show in January 1916. This truck's permanent home is the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum in Walcott, Iowa.
