This model of a vintage 1907 Mack Manhattan takes its inspiration from a photograph in the book, "Pictorial History of American Trucks".  The model was constructed from scratch in early 2002 using styrene, brass, and scale lumber.  It was painted by hand with thinned down Humbrol enamels, and weathered with dry colors and chalk.  The wheels are modified Circus Craft wagon wheels and the driver is an out of date metal figure by Scale Structures Limited.
