Here's one just for fun, a Lionel delivery truck, 1920 (pic)
Made in the year 2,000, this is a Road Champs Classic Scenes truck. Remember that series? I found this one last week and it arrived in this morning's mail. The box was beat up but the truck is still classy!

Lionel was founded in the year 1900 by Joshua Lionel Cowens, with headquarters near City Hall in New York City. In 1903 his electric locomotive No. 5 pioneered the B&O logo, and in 1906 he introduced the 3 rail standard gauge alongside his first electric transformer. By 1909 Lionel proclaimed their company the "Standard of the World"!
And in a bright new 1920 Ford truck comes a delivery.

Okay, it may not have the detailing of some of the new stuff, but it still tells the story. Sometimes I like stuff that I missed a few years ago. Enjoy!

I like it! And it looks like it could easily be repainted.
