Milk Trucks are rare because of their wood body construction and hi-service use back in the 1930s. After serving as milk trucks, many were repurposed into various other uses.

Milk delivered in glass bottles, Model A shocks and washboard country roads. Hmmm, how did that even work?

As a city boy, we had a horse drawn milk wagon in our neighborhood until about 1960. I looked up when they were supposed to have been eliminated. Apparently, most, but not all were eliminated as early as the writer thought.

My brother has the remains of a Model A milk truck that has the pedals converted for stand up driving. That must have been a time saver.

The melting ice softened the wood and that cushioned the bottles.......
