Bordens 1:43 Divco Milk Truck, finally after all these years!

I've seen some nice ones painted for the Detroit area's "Twin Pines" Creamery.

I just ordered a Twin Pines Dairy version. Even though I am modeling the west side of the state, Twin Pines Dairy was dominate in the Detroit area up to the mid 60's.

Man seeing that Dugans truck I can still taste the chocolate donuts

Put me down for a Dugan's truck as well. Brings back fond, tasty memories!

I would love to have one lettered for Ewald Bros dairy in Minneapolis. I have looked online and cannot even find a picture of the Ewald Bros logo. The letters were drawn to look like logs.

I received two of the Bordens trucks last week. Great color, They are welcome on my layout.

Note to anyone interested they are available in 1:43 and 1:87.

Anyone know if they have done a Flav-O-Rich Divco truck?

Brent; got my Meadow Gold @ Diecast Direct

In my childhood, I well remember those Dugan trucks coming and going at their warehouse on Atlantic Avenue in Woodhaven, Queens, NY. I did NOT know the name of their delivery vans at that time, but they certainly were DISTINCTIVE!

Steve, I also thought that the wipers hung down from above the windshield but searching today see that at least to the late 40's they swung from the bottom of the windshield.

The one thing that did not look correct is the doors opening like school bus doors.  As I remember it the doors swung backward.  Looking at the pictures found they were some kind of by-fold arrangement that swung to the rear of the opening.  But there is noway they could model that in such a small scale.  And with doors closed these look perfectly OK.  Am very happy with my four truck fleet. 

I guess I caught the fever... I just ordered a Twin Pines.

If you look closely at your shot of the Twin Pines Divco, windshield wipers are correctly attached at the roof line..

I've have the Twin Pines. A very nice model..

I also like the modern version of a Divco..

I am anxiously awaiting the Mayfield 1:43 Divco milk truck that Diecast Direct announced was coming last year...   thus far, nothing.

Steve, does Mayfield serve your part of Tennessee like my area?

Since we are all on the subject of these awesome trucks, does anyone remember this truck. They use to come around in my neighborhood years ago and sharpen your knives and scissors. Boy does this bring back some memories. I would like to see this made in O scale.

RE: Dugan's

We lived on 92nd Street just off Atlantic Ave. and at the end of our street, we had a wonderful German bakery called Busch's.

Their FRESH baked goods were far superior to Dugan's more mass-produced goods, so even with a Dugan's outlet within walking distance to our home, we always chose Busch's!

Ahhh.....I can almost smell that heavenly aroma from their exhaust fans!
