The automobile as we know is is over 130 years old, if you utilize the Benz Patent Wagen of 1885 as the beginning point. 130 years…how many makes have gone by? How many models, styles, build types? You could spend days or weeks doing the research to try to figure out those numbers. But here’s a really stout question: how many of those machines have gone fully extinct? How many no longer exist in any form? Think especially earlier on…there are whole brands of vehicles where there isn’t one example remaining known on Earth. That’s a very strange thought, given the amount of technological advancement that the car both required and brought to the table, isn’t it?
Hearing that a vehicle might be the last one alive, so to speak, often should be taken with a grain of salt the size of Rhode Island. But in some cases, it seems plausible. Take this 1940 Chevrolet Dubl Duti milk truck. Honestly, if it wasn’t for this video, I wouldn’t have known it existed. Would you? The days of the milk truck are long forgotten, cured by advancements in food containment and refrigerators in the home. Except for some tricked-out Divcos and IH Metros, we don’t see many of them anymore. Yet out in a field in Texas, one sits. One that has managed to not completely return to the elements from where it came, one that could still be brought back to life.
Is there another one left in the world? Maybe. There’s no reason to not believe that there’s another. But there’s also no reason to write off the rarity of this Chevrolet either.
Cool old machine but I’m not gonna spend 35 minutes watching a couple guys talk about it.
Especially with their accents.
omg, Deliverance Builds, the newest YouTube channel.
Please, enough with the accent elitism.
It is unbecoming for gentlemen.
