This unique display of antique vehicles, is located just north of the intersection of Roosevelt and Manheim Roads, in the village of Hillside Illinois.Seen here looking west on north Manheim Road U.S Route 12-45, is a 1920's vintage Mack dump truck, and an old mining shovel used in quarry operations. The Mack truck is actually chain driven. It was nice that this equipment was preserved and not cut up for scrap metal.

Mack used chain drive until 1938 when they finally switched to drive shafts. "The Earth Moves With Palumbo"
