Re: Something different thread
Officially those are a model 3107 Canopy Express. Usually used by produce vendors when they were new. Set up pretty well the way you see on the blue and green ones. Racks to display fresh fruit and produce with your other stock in the bed under the display racks. In some areas they may have gone door to door and in others they may have stopped in a spot just as a lot of vendors do (at least around here) today. We have people who set up on corners and sell various produce all up and down the Yakima valley. Quite often it's what the folks who came up from Mexico are looking for but it can be oranges or watermelons or fresh corn or cherries.

Re: Something different thread
Wow. Very cool. Of course I'd like to meet the stoner that built it...
Seriously, I'd love to know more about it. It's built so well that Google Image Search thinks it's a real truck and brings up other pictures of AD trucks. |

Re: Something different thread
You have to wonder how many of those VW vans they killed in the 60's and 70's sticking them on those old buses. Either for more head room or in some cases a sleeping area up there.
That wrecker is just flat sweet.

Re: Something different thread
1940 is the first gen Futureliner, I read they were all refurbished in 1953. PeterPan buslines is selling a rebuilt one and a rusty carcass for $1M.
They remind me of bookmobiles, so Here's some bookmobiles...
