Divco barn find. pulled out into the Texas sun.

I had a long time Desoto collector buddy of mine send me pictures of the Divco that he found and purchased today down in Texas.


Thats right the guy found a super rare Divco Junior made by Robel in the 1950s for use by dairies in parades and other promotions.



Nothing like a little overkill?
He could not get it in the truck with the topper on so he loaded it on his trailer and towed it home with a crew cab super duty diesel.

He will be sending more pictures tomorrow!

I know there are a lot of Divco fans on here so I thought I would share!

Here is the original brochure.

It used a 1 3/4hp Briggs 6BS motor
more info and images here http://www.jrcentral.com/divco.html

 

That is very cool! Good luck with it.

 

pretty cool, nice find

 

Heck, he could get about 5 more on that trailer!

 

Yeah I loved that shot!

I have only seen one more sell in the last year and it was a couple years before that when the last one changed hands. Have never seen two in the same place except for the brochure!

 

I was expecting a full size Divco...Ha Ha Ha...that thing is hilarious....great find!!!

 

Thinking about maybe putting a Buick V-6 in the rear? Fun little truck for sure. Glad it survived............

 

I think this Franklin aircooled would be great for it.

1939 White Motors White Horse.
The museum that I volunteer for (Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum in Cleveland, Oh) has an original engine for sale. It is a Frankliin Aircooled opposing. The valve covers have White embossed on them. Email me if interested.

Are you kidding me the thing is screaming "I want a hemi"
HA HA yeah right!
Even a 5hp Briggs would be an upgrade!

 

Very cool !

 

I'll have a quart of chocolate mile and a container of cottage cheese... leave it in the milk chute.

 

I'd be droppin' a Harley mill in that thing.

 

Cool find

 

now that is too cool!

 

Not to hijack but 10 or 15 years ago there was a real Divco in a field between Dublin and De Leon Texas. Haven't been through there since then. Used to go to Dublin to buy real Dr. Pepper.

 

I say g***er it using the original wheelbase. 12" lift in the front.

"Uncontrollable".

 

Engine is in the back.
Driver sits toward the back
fibergl*** body
and the front jacked up?
You better have wheelie bars on it!

It might look pretty good with some monster meats in the back, wheelie bars and a mini parachute!

 

That's great!!
I want one!

 

Terrace Park in Sioux Falls used to have at least one if not more of those they would bring to parades around soo foo, I bet they did not get too far from there either

 

Very Cool.....Haven't seen one in years

 

I got dibs on those wheels for my Belly Tank project. Now if I could only find some 8" tall Firestone Indy tires to throw on them.

 

How about some body molds...

 

Throw a Legends Car ch***is underneath that super nice body and terrorize the streets....

 

ZINGER it

 

I guess they only hauled pints and half pints.

 

My fibergl*** guy that builds my other Junior car bodies could make the molds easy enough and pump them out, but I do not know if i can afford to buy the original to do that? they are pretty darned rare and when they do sell they are not cheap.

there is one currently being modified with a high performance frame. here are a couple pictures.

 

I gotta agree with Ratster....Zinger It !!

 

chop it!

 

That's cool. Just what I need to zip around the neighborhood.

 

What a cool find!! I have never seen one of those
