A real honey of a truck! I remember the 1:1 Biltmore Dairy versions when I was a boy, and our milkman just walked into the house and went straight to the fridge. Well, except when we had a little dog named Pluto; he hated that milkman!

To cartoony looking for my taste. I'd expect Roger Rabbit to be driving it. But pics are awesome!

Classic truck, great model.... and memories.

That was our local dairy truck and was also used by the local bakery.
The bakery guy used to let us ride with him hanging out of the open door. That would never happen these days.

I have the truck and love it. It was one of my first diecasts. There is a catering business a few miles away from me that has that vintage truck outside on display. Unfortunately, it needs a complete makeover. While it appears to be solid, it has been painted over with a paint brush.:((
