[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 491060, member: 1414"] Was born in 1946 and had just reached walking age when I crawled under a thick Geraldton Wax tree on my parents farm and found this bronze "Bulldog" (Originally it had a brass screw radiator cap which I cut off later and had it chromed because I played Aussie Rules football for the red & whites, Bulldogs. Mounted it on the bonnet of my first car an old VW Beetle.) [u]Back to my early years;[/u] Played with this bulldogs as a kid until one day I dropped it on my foot breaking several toes, my mother hurled it back into the Wax Bush and there it stayed until I found it again when I was about 10yo. Just Googled the Mack Truck beginning and this is what I found. Maybe worth contacting Mack???
