If you�ve ever been to San Francisco, you know that one spot everyone recommends is Fisherman�s Wharf. Renowned for both its beauty and savory seafood. Fisherman�s Wharf is the place where the city�s many fishermen dock their boats. In the course of a year, these intrepid seafarers bring in millions of pounds of fresh rock cod, sole, salmon, herring and a variety of shellfish. You can even buy fresh crab and shrimp cocktails from street vendors who cook the just-caught shellfish in metal kettles right there on the side walk. Now the spirit of fisherman�s Wharf is captured in an intricate replica of a 1920 MACK AC delivery truck with a full load of fish�including crabs and clams. This replica captures a vehicle built by Mack Trucks, Inc., the famous truck manufacturer whose roots date back to 1900. The company was born when two Mack brothers took over the Fallesen wagon factory in Brooklyn, New York. The company quickly progressed from making horse-drawn wagons to motorized buses. In 1905, Mack Trucks moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania which soon became known as �the truck capital of the world.� Mack trucks were soon respected around the world for their toughness and reliability. Now portrayed carrying a fresh catch from Fisherman�s Wharf to a San Francisco restaurant, your model is produced by and available only from Matchbox Collectibles.
