    Just kidding... I just got home from driving my car in the Christmas parade in Conway, AR. A local guy had these on his "car hauler".... I have seen the black roadster on the road several times and the Chrysler has been in 7 Great Races.... I liked the Brockway the best though...

    I don't remember what year it was, but I'm pretty sure it had a later diesel engine in it. It was awesome!

    Well that has a "R" model Mack cab so that dates it late 60s early 70s. They were made in Courtland NY, owned by Mack from the mid 50s. The later ones with the Mack cab got to be so much like a Mack that Mack shut Brockway as a make down in the mid70s.

    They were only trailer queens for this one night... they are driven quite a bit... He has restored the Brockway also, so it makes a cool display...

    I thought that would get someone... made you open the thread though...
     
  11. Does a Brockway weigh more or less than a Hennway?
