This AutoCar is gorgeous. No shiny nonsense. The soundtrack is also great

Autocar and Mack trucks = built to last! Thanks for the ride along. I can watch and listen to your hauling videos all day.

Love the old autocar, not the most prettiest of trucks but they seem to go forever.

I dig the autocar💪although I must admit I am surprised it hasn’t been replaced by a Mack😂.What’s cool though is seeing that next generation working with Dad and Uncle, I know that they are encouraged by your interest in the business

[@AppalachianRust]

We’ve got the red R model Mack and this AutoCar as our regular road tractors at the moment. On this day we had the both hauling.
