Allentown, PA, March 26, 2025 — A unique piece of trucking history has found its permanent home at the Mack Trucks Historical Museum, thanks to the dedication and craftsmanship of Grayce Emmick, an eighth-generation farmer and restoration enthusiast.

After a year-long labor of love, Grayce completed the full restoration of a 1984 Mack® R Model, originally custom-built for Johnny Prescott and Son Oil of Concord, New Hampshire. The truck now stands proudly in Allentown as a lasting symbol of Mack’s storied past.

This heartfelt donation comes at a meaningful time, as Mack Trucks celebrates its 125th anniversary. More than a restored vehicle, this gesture embodies the passion and commitment of the Mack community, and honors the legacy of those who helped build it.

“This restoration reflects the deep emotional and historical connection fans have with the Mack brand,” said Mack Trucks in a statement. “Thanks to Grayce, this truck will continue to inspire and share its story for generations to come.”
