THE BUDWEISER
VINTAGE DELIVERY TRUCK
COLLECTION
| The General Motors Truck
Co. was founded in 1911 in Pontiac, Michigan, and the first GMC trucks
were offered the following year. After World War 2, GMC produced a
variety of commercial trucks, including a cab-over-engine (C.O.E.)
Model. Now a 1948 GMC C.O.E pulls a bright red refrigerated trailer
with a vintage 1948 Budweiser label in a brilliant die-cast model. |

Considered one
of the best looking trucks of all time, the 1940 Ford was a significant
milestone in Ford trucks. It featured an entirely new chassis with
a Hotchkiss type drive and improved suspension, as well as an extensively
restyled cab. Now the legendary 1940 Ford Pickup is decorated with
the familiar graphics of Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser in an exciting
die-cast model. |

| In 1936 the
Chrysler-built Dodge brothers truck was renamed the Dodge. Known for
its passenger car styling and comfort, the Dodge truck soon sported
hydrovac brakes. The 1937 Dodge Airflow truck provided quality, durability
and ruggedness. Now this American classic bears the trademarked "A"
& Eagle logo and the "Anheuser-Busch 'Budweiser' Everywhere"
slogan. |

As a commercial
truck, the Model TT (as Ford designated its trucks) could be adapted
as an open-back pickup or a panel truck. The panel truck also offered
a large area on which a business could place its advertising message.
This 926 Ford Model TT is decorated with the stylish Anheuser-Busch
"A" and eagle emblem, a refreshing bottle of Budweiser beer
and vignette of malt and hops. |

| In 1932, when Anheuser-Busch
was celebrating its 60th anniversary, the Diamond T Motor Car Company
of Chicago, Illinois had introduced an eight-ton, six-wheeler with
a Waukesha engine. Now a 1932 Diamond T truck, crafted to honour the
"KING OF BOTTLED BEERS," looks like it is hauling a load
of fresh Budweiser in its steak bed. This replica features simulated
wood panels on the sides. |

In the '50s, the undisputed
leader in the style category was the Second Series Advance-Design
light-duty 1955 Chevrolet pickup truck. The dazzling new look pioneered
the "smoothside style" and featured egg-crate grilles, hooded
headlights, fadeaway front fenders and an entirely new cab with a
full-width rear window and wraparound windscreen. Now decorated with
Clydesdale Stables graphics in the sensational Budweiser model. |
