September/October 2018 Vintage Truck

NEW ISSUE - The September/October 2018 issue of Vintage Truck magazine will be available in subscriber mailboxes and on newsstands soon. Our cover story about a 1936 Mack Jr was written by Candace Brown, with photos by Al Rogers. Mack Trucks Inc. enjoys a well-deserved reputation in the trucking industry for building tough, heavy-duty products. Its roots go back to 1900 when brothers Jack and Gus Mack founded Mack Bros. Co. in Brooklyn, New York, which operated under that name until 1922. The introduction of the Model AC in 1916 was a hit, and the appearance of the AP series in 1927 established Mack as a leader in the heavy truck market. Within the Mack family of trucks, an obscure, smaller cousin to those beefy road warriors earned its own distinction thanks to its lack of success, at least in terms of sales.

Our cover story about a 1957 International S-120 4X4 panel truck was written by B. Mitchell Carlson, with photos by Brad Bowling. After World War II, our former Soviet Union allies soon became Cold War nemeses, especially by the time they detonated their first atomic weapon in 1949.
