The Tracto Clásicos group from Allende, Nuevo León , has been consolidating its presence in the country as a way to showcase the importance of Mexican trucking to society and the national economy . Through their caravans, they have visited various cities in Mexico and have traveled to the United States twice: Las Vegas and Yellowstone.
As part of this objective to promote the presence of trucking, Tracto Clásicos held an event in Allende, where it “brothered” with the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) , accepting the invitation of the Tracto Clásicos board of directors, where the collection of classics could be appreciated, but also the modern models of the Allende special edition and the 100 years of Kenworth .
The event, which was held at Hacienda Tres Lomas , was attended by David Schnautz, president of ATHS, and John Gravley, executive director.
The exhibition featured 84 trucks , many of which were used in the 1970s to transport oranges, sugarcane, and vegetables. The display included tractor-trailers ranging from 1943 models to those manufactured in 2024, taking visitors on a journey through the decades of the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. This highlighted the importance of trucking and the preservation of classic vehicles.
“American Truck has more than 21,000 members in the United States, Canada, Australia, and England, so it is very important for us that Mexico, with Tracto Clásicos, joins us, and that we bring the collection we saw here in Allende to the next convention in Missouri,” said David Schnautz.
Meanwhile, John Gravley emphasized the impressive collection of trucks at Tracto Clásicos de Allende, saying, “It’s a great surprise to see this impressive collection here in a town the size of Allende. I see a bright future for the ATHS and Tracto Clásicos. We will inform the manufacturers about your collection and promote it through publications from the American Truck Historical Society, Tracto Clásicos, and Mexico .”
Tracto Clásicos plans to continue in 2026 with caravans to other cities inside and outside of Mexico, where they bring not only the collection of tractor-trailer trucks, but also the gastronomy and traditions of the north of the country.
