Mack Crowns Winning Bulldog Idol

Mack Trucks Inc. said the winner of the first ever Bulldog Idol contest that took place during the company’s Community Open House on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19

, at its Macungie Assembly Operations, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Mack in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania.
Sporting a tool belt and dressed in a hard hat and “Built Like a Mack Truck” T-shirt, “Gordon” took home first prize in a competition that featured 18 other bulldogs, many sporting equally clever outfits.
“It was a very tough competition,” said Mack spokesperson John Walsh, one of the contest judges. “A lot of the owners really did a great job with the costumes. But in the end, being Mack, we had to go with Gordon, who would look right at home in a one of our industry-leading construction trucks.”
An estimated 5,000 people attended the Open House, which also featured displays of both antique and current Mack models, and walking tours of the plant.
