I always thought that Mack was an american maker of trucks!  The
color coded wires have been used on american cars and trucks
since they got away from the cloth covered wires although you
sometimes see cloth covered wires with different colored threads
in them on some of the older cars - I drive the old stuff for
many reasons, including the unique factor.
It's been the europeans that have gone for numbering wires.  I
remember trying to fix a infusion pump from germany that was full
of the numbered wires and finding the number along the length of
the wire got to be a bit wearing.
