Did you ever wonder where and when the saying “Built like a Mack truck came from?” As you know Mack truck trademark is a bulldog. In 1917 during WWI, Mack trucks earned its nickname when the British government purchased 6000 Mack AC model trucks to supply its front line with troops, food and equipment. The British soldiers were so impressed by the Mack trucks they dubbed the trucks, “the Bulldog Mack.” Its pugnacious, blunt-nosed hood, coupled with its incredible durability, reminded the soldiers of the tenacious qualities of their country's mascot, the British Bulldog. So, it was only natural for British soldiers to name the American trucks, “the Bulldog Mack”.
But when did the Bulldog first appear as a hood ornament on every Mack truck built? In 1932 Mack's chief engineer Alfred Fellows Masury carved Mack's first bulldog hood ornament while recuperating from an operation. Masury applied for and receives a U.S. patent for his design; the bulldog hood ornament has adorned every Mack truck ever since.
