Taken at the ATHS (American Truck Historical Society) Truck Show and Convention held at the Kentucky Horse Park near Lexington, Kentucky.
When I first saw this truck, I thought it was a decked out R model made to look like an Australian Road Train. Then I saw the emblem on the side of the hood that said "Value Liner", a model I had never heard of before. Although it looks quite new and has an Oregon licence plate it must have been manufactured in the late 1980's or early 1990's and originally come from Australia where all Value Liners were manufactured. I heard some guys say that the steering wheel is on the right side. Whatever it is doing here in the states, it is one serious looking very cool truck that I was glad to have seen. Love it.
From Wikipedia:
"The Mack Valueliner is a heavy-duty truck that was introduced by Mack Trucks in 1986 to replace the Mack R model. Its production lasted for 6 years until it was replaced by the CHR & CLR models.
The E6 and E7 powered Valueliners featured a flat bonnet and 2 piece mudguards while E9 V8 powered versions had a sloped bonnet and a raised cab. As with most Macks at the time, all valueliners came out of the factory with air starter motors."
