That is one cool looking front end! No grill?

Any chance of pics of the Jeep firetruck??????

Really like the milk van. Did not know Diamond T made that type of vehicle. We just toured Cabot Cheese and Ben and Jerry's factories. Takes a lot of cows to keep those places busy. My wife now knows what the Holstein, Guernsey, and Jersey breeds look like! Then she saw a herd of all-black cows which were probably milking Angus. There used to be a few herds of milking Shorthorns around. I should have had on my FFA coveralls that we wore to judging contests.

There was a '28 Stutz package car like this at the Portland Swap Meet this year. Pretty much the exact same vehicle. It was developed by Stutz, and Diamond T took it over when Stutz folded, I guess. Pretty neat rig, independent front suspension with coil springs, and the engine-transaxle assembly on a subframe so it could be readily serviced.

Any thing this boxy is just too cool. I like the whole Package, but I say that as a Land Rover owner. Aerodynamics of a brick.
