If that was 1987 it was probably the PA State Convention in Lebanon, that is Lehman Street. The Brockway was only just replaced in the last 2 yrs I believe.

WOW! May 2007 is the 100th anniversary of Minquas FC of Newport, DE. Here's their 48 Mack 3 door sedan cab. That's two really good loking oldies. I wonder what else bearing the name of Minquas will show up.
Phil, Bklyn
Scott,
Great stuff, very sharp, clean stuff! Keep it coming!
