They have a museum in conjunction with the Central New York living History Center in Cortland NY USA where Brockways were built. The museum display is revolving and changes in May of each year The Brockway Truck Preservation Assn holds the Brockway Weekend the second weekend of August which includes a Cruise In, Friday Fundraiser Dinner, Saturday dinner to honor past employees, a Parade and the largest "Brand Specific" Static display in the USA of usually about 140 (+ /-) Brockway Trucks.

Gryphon, Thank You for editing my post and starting a new topic.
A brief history of Brockway Trucks: In the 1860's the Brockway Family established a Wagon and Carriage factory in Homer NY, Just north of the City of Cortland. In 1910 son George hung a 2 cylinder air cooled engine on one of daddy's wagons. In 1912 he created the Brockway Motor Truck Co. In 1956 Mack trucks bought Brockway BUT did not consolidate anything until the design / engineering departments in about 1970. Early 1977 saw labor problems and Mack closed the facility in mid 1977 and the last trucks for the Mid-East oilfields were assembled in Miami FL.
In the early 2000's the Central NY Living History Museum and Brockway Weekend was created. The Museum now has 4 parts: Brockway, Hometown, Tractors of Yesteryear which includes a 1900's home kitchen, and now a Fire House which I have not seen.

As V8Ian and Dave64 indicated you folks would like some more pictures.. This will take some time and several posts!!! There are at least 2 Brockways in Australia that I know of: Archie Baines, in VIC, has about a 1950 model 88 chassis and cowl in his boneyard and Ed Edminsten in Dubbo has a 1976 model 761 repowered with an 8V92T imported from up here. I saw it in person when it still had the 12V71 in it.
In my first pictures you can see the crowd congestion in the Main Street static display and the crowding of trucks at the museum. So I will start with parade pictures as this is the best time to get individual pictures.
