Re: '66 milk truck
Hard to beat the old Divco trucks for style, IMO.

Re: '66 milk truck
I saw a GMC school bus like the yellow Chevrolet about an hours drive outside of Montreal near the U.S. Border. Bus body mounted on a one ton frame. Very different.

Re: '66 milk truck
I'm dating myself, but remember a time in my childhood when those Divco trucks actually delivered milk in a wire rack to the front porch. I always thought they were very cool looking. And the family doctor even made house calls!

Re: '66 milk truck
In New Orleans the local milk company was Bordens on Ailine Hwy., and I too remember the glass quart jars. I've seen diaper delivery, but not for me obv. just others.

Re: '66 milk truck
