It was raining very hard when we arrived so we waited out the storm in our car prior to looking at the amazing collection of great old trucks. This is one of the first really unusual trucks we came across. The weather was decent for humans sensitive to the sun, but the sky was awful for photography. Still it was an amazing event with around 1000 antique trucks on display.

We thought it ironic that the sign on the door advertises sales and service of Diamond T's while the truck itself is an Autocar - two great brands from the past.
I know a few Autocar fans who would probably love to add this beauty to their collections.

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."
