The attraction in this case is a 1947 Mack Truck. Jim Cameron of 3-C recalls that it was the first new truck in the area after World War II and was owned by the Beckman lumber family, who painted it green, their company color.

Soon after 3-C acquired the rig and added their company colors, the producers of the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit? hired it for their picture. Earlier this year, it appeared in the yet-to-be-released Patrick Swayze movie Three Wishes.

Along the way, Cameron put a K Cummins engine in the truck and entered it in the Southern California Antique Truck Show in 1989, winning the Best Mack Award. Last year a 350 Cummins replaced the earlier engine.

Driver Miguel Ramirez chooses the'47 Mack over their new Freighr liner every time, daily running it as a truck and trailer roll off, enjoying the smiles and waves as he drives the restored rig.
