America on Wheels Museum - Allentown, Pennsylvania
Our visit to America on Wheels Museum in Allentown, PA.
Vehicles from the Transformer Movies and a Mack Truck simulator were the highlight for the kids but there were tons of cars, trucks, motorcycles and specialty vehicles on display. Definitely a great half day stop if you are in the area although I could have spent an entire day there. The HubCap Cafe on the upper floor is a cool spot to check out, too!
More from Wikipedia:
America on Wheels is an over-the-road transportation museum in Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania in the United States.
The 43,000 square feet (4,000 m2) museum offers over 23,000 square feet (2,100 m2) of exhibit space divided into three main galleries and several smaller exhibits. The museum houses rotating exhibits on the second floor. Also on the second floor is the HubCap Cafe, and a vehicle art gallery featuring artists such as Bill Bravo.
The museum's collection features over 75 bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles and trucks in exhibits telling the story of people and products on the move from the days of the carriage to the vehicles of tomorrow.
The museum also houses the archives of Mack Trucks.
History
As early as 1989, Allentown city officials had announced plans to revitalize an old industrial area, which included the abandoned Arbogast & Bastian meat packing plant, along the Lehigh River. This redevelopment, which was to be known as Lehigh Landing, was to include a museum, a brewery, walking trails, a footbridge across the river, and a promenade for festivals. Development was hindered by fundraising problems, environmental remediation issues, and even a national debate on pork barrel government spending. After three separate groundbreakings (2001, 2004 and 2005), the museum, which cost over $17 million to build, was officially opened to the public on April 12, 2008.
Collection & exhibits
1889 Nadig Gas-Powered Carriage
A historically important part of the museum's collection is the 1889 Nadig Gas-Powered Carriage, one of the first gas-powered vehicles driven in America. Henry Nadig, a German-born mechanic living in Allentown, built his gas-powered carriage in 1889, two years before Charles E. Duryea's first gas-powered automobile. Police forced him to drive the carriage at night, because during the day it scared horses. The vehicle was discovered rusting in a collapsed shed in Allentown, and restored.
General collection
The collection of the America on Wheels is minimal as the majority of the vehicles on display are on loan. The West Gallery changes every six months based on a new theme. A number of the vehicles are on loan from the Mack Truck Museum of Allentown PA.

1989 Mack Superliner and 1977 Kenworth W900A Out of Hibernation - Old-School V8 Diesel Power!
Spring is finally here, so it's time to get Ryan's two trucks out of hibernation and get them on the road. He just recently got them registered for antique/historic use, so now they can be used as toys (and tractor haulers). Everyone seems to like cold start videos, so here are a couple cold starts (around 45-50°, and they had both been started a couple weeks prior). We took both trucks down the road just to wake them up. Both trucks are V8-powered, which makes them very collectible.
The first truck is a 1989 Mack RW613 Superliner with an E9-450 HP V8, Mack 12-speed, Mack rears, Neway air ride, air ride cab, and Dayton spoke wheels all around. It was a lowboy tractor for Pennsy Supply company back in the day, and has 203,000 original miles (don't mind his shifting...the Mack 12-speed takes a learning curve).
The second truck (shown in previous videos) is a 1977 Kenworth W900A with an 8v92 Detroit Diesel (an earlier green one, non-turbo, 380 HP), an RT12513 Roadranger 13-speed, and air leaf suspension. This truck has 196,000 true original miles.
These two trucks need some TLC here and there, but they're both low-mileage survivors and will be a lot of fun to take to local shows and tractor pulls each summer. Turn up your speakers and enjoy the ride!

Mack Trucks, Inc., is an American truck–manufacturing company and a former manufacturer of buses and trolley buses. Founded in 1900 as the Mack Brothers Company, it manufactured its first truck in 1907 and adopted its present name in 1922.[1] Mack Trucks is a subsidiary of AB Volvo which purchased Mack along with Renault Trucks in 2000.[2] After being founded in Brooklyn, New York, the company's headquarters were in Allentown, Pennsylvania, from 1905 to 2009, when they moved to Greensboro, North Carolina.[3] The entire line of Mack products is still produced in Lower Macungie, Pennsylvania,[4] with additional assembly plants in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Australia, and Venezuela.
Currently, the company's manufacturing facilities are located at LVO Lehigh Valley Operations formally known as the Macungie Assembly Operations Plant in Lower Macungie Township, Pennsylvania. Mack Trucks is one of the top producers in the vocational and on-road vehicle market, class 8 through class 13. It is also one of the most popular manufacturers of heavy-duty off-road trucks in the United States.[citation needed]
Mack trucks have been sold in 45 countries. The Macungie, Pennsylvania, manufacturing plant, located near its former Allentown corporate headquarters, produces all Mack products. The Mack MP-series engine, Mack transmissions, the TC-15 transfer cases, and rear engine power take-offs are designed and manufactured in Hagerstown, Maryland, which, according to local historians, was the original factory location.[citation needed]
Parts for Mack's right-hand-drive vehicles are produced in Brisbane, Australia, for worldwide distribution. Assembly for South America is done at Mack de Venezuela C.A., in Caracas, Venezuela. The Venezuela operation is a complete knock down (CKD) facility. Components are shipped from the United States to Caracas, and the plant then does the final assembly.
In addition to its Macungie manufacturing facility, Mack also has a remanufacturing center in Middletown, Pennsylvania, where it takes used parts and refurbishes them for resale and reuse.
2008 restructuring plan[edit]
On August 14, 2008, Mack Trucks announced a major restructuring plan that included:[5]
Relocation of Mack's head office, product development, most support functions, and purchasing functions to Greensboro, North Carolina, in 2009. Mack's parent, Volvo Trucks, already has its North American base in Greensboro.
Assembly of all produced Mack highway vehicles in Macungie, Pennsylvania from 2008

Restructuring the parts distribution network by 2010 (later delayed to first quarter 2011)°
