The American Dream band was formed in late, 2021 and like many groups spent the next 3-4 months trying a variety of combinations before establishing the core. We’ve taken our time developing a set list and have learned about 100-songs in the process.  We carefully searched for and considered as many top 100-songs from Billboard’s year-by-year collection starting in the year 1964 and continuing to 1984.  We looked for songs which fit our instrumentation, vocal abilities and taste. Songs we could enjoy playing over and over which an audience could also enjoy listening and or dancing.

Antique Truck Vehicles
Friday, September 20, 2024

The Nuss Collection is a tribute to the trucking industry of the early to mid 1900s.
Featuring carefully preserved antique Mack trucks and construction vehicles, this collection salutes the powerful machines responsible for Building America and every truckload in between.

The Nuss Collection is the result of the Nuss family’s longtime dedication to keeping businesses on the move and their passion for vintage vehicles.
This collection has been the dedicated hobby of Greg Nuss, Vice-President and COO of Nuss Truck & Equipment and is shared by the entire family.

Here is a sample of some of the vehicles that have been at our show in the past.
