Paperback / softback
Description
Providing a vital service to communities and businesses over the years, delivery vans have evolved through time, with many different models taking to the road.
In the 1920s and 1930s many types of unusual bodywork were fitted and numerous and diverse technical specifications were available.
Exploring the fascinating development of old delivery vans, the author discusses the improvements and fashions up to the 1960s, including the advances in locomotion from steam to petrol, electricity and diesel.
With a close look at the Ford Model T, which first brought the van within the reach of high street business, and then at the more purpose-built light vans after 1945, this is a comprehensive and fully illustrated introduction to the history and design of classic delivery vans.
