Preserving the Trucks That Built America
Located in Rochester, Minnesota, the Nuss Collection celebrates the history, craftsmanship, and hard-working legacy of American trucking.
Created by the Nuss family, the Collection features vintage and restored Mack trucks, construction vehicles, heavy haul replicas, and rare historical pieces from the early to mid-1900s. Each vehicle tells a story of innovation, resilience, and the people who helped build the roads, cities, and industries we rely on today.
A Legacy Rooted in Trucking
The Nuss family’s passion for trucking began with Nuss Truck & Equipment, a three-generation, family-owned business founded in 1959 by Charles B. Nuss, Jr. Built on service, family, community, and hard work, that legacy continues today through the preservation of historic trucks and equipment.
The Nuss Collection was created to honor that legacy and share it with future generations.
