Guess I'm gonna hafta spring for one of those.  I can still remember them on the streets of  Milwaukee back in the good old days.  You did have to get up pretty early in those mornings to see those trucks making home deliveries.  Those milkmen would get up in the wee hours of the morning and be pretty much done for the day by 9:00 or 10:00 o'clock.

Yup, need a DUGANS.

 

I bought the last one from Modeltrainstuff.com 

Ask Bob for more. $29.00

 

The figure is larger than scale I believe but he is quite real looking.

The only other thing that I noticed is the wipers should hang down from the top of the windshield.

Could be another version of the Divco?

I painted silver on the backs of the doors and bottle holder. Added 1/2 red bottle tops to the full ones and touched up some of the paint. Attached a NY Plate on the back.

Added decal numbers (my b-day)

Added some weathering also.

LOL!  Have you seen the Buick commercial with Shaquille O'Neal sitting in a LaCrosse?

 

Just think of the milkman as an ex-football player, he sure looks happy

 

Did he come with the truck?

I thought the same thing when I scaled the figure at 1 5/8-inches.  In 1:48 land that would 6' 6".  But in 1:43 land which these are that is 5' 9 7/8" tall.

 

Steve, like the addition of the numbers.  I am trying to think to way back when about any and/or how the local trucks were numbered.
