Title: Identify this truck Post by: kingsburgphil on January 02, 2012, 03:14:48 am As a kid living in LA in the 50's, I'd see a couple of these driving around.
First correct guess wins a cookie ;) Title: Re: Identify this truck Post by: So.Cal.Life on January 02, 2012, 06:08:38 am Phil , to me that appears to be a Powell. A neighbor had one when I was small. KG

You win a cookie.. LoL. Seriously, percentage wise few people have ever seen one in the flesh. They were made in Compton, CAand I lived next door in Gardena as a child. I recall them as being the first modern mini truck, albeit lacking the fit and finish we see nowadays. PM me a shipping address and I'll send you some cookies :D Title: Re: Identify this truck Post by: So.Cal.Life on January 02, 2012, 06:37:25 am Phil , oddly enough I see a Powell here in Roseburg from time to time .
