Skip McKean owner of Ayer & Goss Fuels and Skip McKean Transport of Henniker, New Hampshire keeps a stable of restored and road-worthy antique Mack trucks.
We first ran across the McKean fleet of antique Macks at the Barrington Truck Show in Barrington, New Hampshire (third Sunday in August every year).
This year we followed the McKean Macks from Epping back to Henniker for a morning shoot. On a way bright sunny day ( 🙁 ) the McKean staff were more than willing to turn the trucks out for display.
The McKean / Ayer & Goss website lists the following trucks as part of the collection.
1942 Mack ED pickup
1946 Mack EH oil truck
1950 Mack A40 propane truck with 1967 Mississippi tank body
1940 Mack DE utility truck
1951 Mack LF tractor
1954 Farrell Oil Tank Trailer
1956 Mack B85 tractor
1951 Trinity twin barrel propane tanker
1985 Mack Superliner tractor
1953 Massey Harris propane fired tractor
1930s Reproduction Oil Tank Wagon
This shoot was limited to two trucks for no real reason other than circumstance.
On a bright sunny day, ya’ gotta love ‘Shell Oil Yellow’
Squint, Squint!!
Out the Old Concord Road : Henniker, New Hampshire.
Phone numbers true to the era.
Thank you Skip McKean Transport and staff.

Barrington Truck Show ~ 2015
For over 50 years the Barrington Old Truck Show has been a fixture on a single Sunday late in August each summer out back of Calef’s Store at the RTS 125/9 junction in Barrington, New Hampshire. Lots of disappointment when the 2015 Barrington Truck Show moved out of town a ways down the road to the Star Raceway in Epping, NH.
Trucks and truckers were spotted headed north to Barrington as we headed south to Epping.
Not the same on lots of levels : attendance, commercialism, cost to the spectator, organization & grouping of vehicles, and the grounds in general. Check out the 2014 blog entry.
Change : Change for the better??
Let’s wait and see the 2016 Barrington Old Truck Show’s location:
Is a return to the Town of Barrington possible?
All the same some way nice trucks on an overcast day.

Richard Shindell’s The Kenworth of My Dreams
I sold my old Camaro
I sold my fishing boat
A friend said he would cosign
On a small commercial loan
So I shopped around until I found
A rig within my means
I put fifteen thousand dollars down
On the Kenworth of my dreams
Always well organized, with lots of participants and well attended.
