+James Campbell It certainly was a splendid show, there are some beautifully restored trucks in the New England area. I'm waiting to see if they are going to do some sort of show this year. I would definitely like to go back.
I think that it was special for their 40th. It seemed very well received so maybe they'll keep it going. I'll be watching my Truck Buyers Guide next year.
What is the top speed in that red 1941 chain drive Sterling, about 45 mph? Beautiful truck though. Jeeeze, I would hate to put any of these trucks to work, they would get dirty, especially that pink mixer truck. Looks like that yellow McKean 1951 Mack single axle tractor pulling that double axle tanker has good old "armstrong power steering."
I don't know what the top speed of the Sterling is. 45 mph is probably about as good a guess as I would make. As for the 51 Mack, armstrong would be my bet.
First of all, thsnks a lot for the nice vids. New Hampshire, what a lovely place that is. That chan-drive, up to what speed was it useable? I wonder whether the new Macks still are "Built like a Mack Truck". Happy Easter!
+Carl Napp I don't know exactly what the top speed of the Sterling chain drive is. I did a video a long time ago about a Mack AC concrete truck and the question of speed was raised. People commenting seemed to think that the top speed was about 20 to 25 mph. I suspect that the Sterling would go a bit faster than that, perhaps 40 to 45 mph. Just guessing. As for new Mack trucks, I suspect that they are built like Volvos since that is who owns Mack now.
