🚛 “Convoy” Movie: The Mack, The Myth, The Legend! 🛣️🐤 Convoy wasn’t just a movie – it was a full-blown diesel-powered legend on wheels. Inspired by a country song written in 1975, the 1978 film told the tale of rebel truckers riding free across the American highways. That song? “Convoy” by C.W. McCall – and the lyrics practically storyboarded the entire film. The film’s leading rig, driven by Kris Kristofferson’s character Rubber Duck, was a Mack RS712LST. It wasn’t even mentioned in the song

Anthony Fox has been caretaker of this piece of history — one of the original 1970 Mack trucks driven by the Rubber Duck character in Sam Peckinpah's 1970s "Convoy" film — for the last few years. And it's not just the truck. The 5,800-gallon shell of a Trailmobile tanker, used for asphalt at some point in its life, is also an original from the movie, bearing the scars of some of the high-action shoot. http://bit.ly/2hSR42k | Overdrive Magazine
