Dean Middleton's pics from the event

The 50th Mack Anniversary held at the Manfield Event Centre was held on 23 October
to celebrate 50 years of Mack trucks in New Zealand. Last month, we featured a selection of photographs from the event, and such was the success of the show and sensational standard of Mack Trucks on display, we decided to feature some more outstanding examples of the bulldog brand from the big day.
