restoring a Divco led to meeting guys that worked with his grandfather, and how a bakery delivery van had to use wood wheels during WW2 due to the rubber shortage
for milk trucks, but, I didn't mention milk trucks. They may have had to use wood wheels, but this is the only WW2 vehicle that I've heard of so far that went wood wheels, and the loaves of bread would be quiet.
Imagine all those clinking bottles while on wood wheels!

DeleteSorry,I liked the truck so much that I didn't notice it was a bread van!
