Well, if I might let my pedantic inner child out to play for a moment:
It's not "hair" lip, it's "hare" lip as in rabbit. A rabbit's upper lip is divided in the middle. There's a birth defect in humans that does the same thing. If uncorrected, causes a speech impediment. Have a cousin that has that.
Well, I'll be damned!! 70 years old and I learned something brand new!
I had also never heard of a Mack called that. I remember some of the CB slang about certain truck lines.
Navaho was called the " Blue eyed Indian". Consolidated Freight (CF) was the "Corn Flakes" or Corn Flaker" But right at the moment, I am drawing a blank on others.
Many of those big ole truck lines are out of business. There was also Yellow.
