From the 1940s and on through the early 1950s, the Mack LJ became on of America's most popular trucks due to it clean and timeless styling. Used for a variety of purposes and for short and long hauls, this Mack LJ is loaded with nostalgia - an era appropriate and authentic sign used by Budweiser rests on this truck bed.
In 1872 the Anheuser Busch eagle logo first appeared on beer packaging. In 1876 Budweiser Lager Beer was introduced - and the rest, as they say, is history. From the famous Clydesdales and Busch Gardens, to the St. Louis Cardinals and major commercial Super Bowl Spots, the Anheuser Busch Company indelibly has made its mark on America. For decades one of the most visible parts of the Budweiser brand has been the countless delivery trucks seen on America's roads. Now the classic delivery trucks from the 1950s are back in miniature, along with a St. Louis PCC car complete with vintage Budweiser billboards.
The model is suitable for the “O” gauge railroad display.
