Mac Haik Peacock

[edit]

The Mac Haik Peacock is a mascot of the Mac Haik Automotive Group division of Mac Haik Enterprises, Inc., that many people would say is very similar to the NBC Peacock, due to its rainbow tail feathers. The origin of the "Mac Haik Peacock" goes back to his first car dealership. In 1983, he bought Tom Peacock Chevrolet. In order to keep the goodwill of Tom Peacock Chevrolet, the new dealership was called Mac Haik's Peacock Chevrolet for 5 years. After the 5-year period was up Mac Haik kept the Peacock logo. Tom Peacock's peacock mascot was also cited as similar to NBC's peacock.
