History
Back in the day, to be "built like a Mack truck" meant top-notch, unparalleled quality and toughness. Founded by a group of brothers from Brooklyn, New York, Mack Trucks was a star manufacturer of trucks, buses, railroad cars, and locomotives of all kinds. Their magnificent vehicles were likened to bull dogs for their sheer power, and a trademark bull dog began appearing on the side of their car hoods around 1922.
