Guest 37Packard Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 "Snap Crackle Pop"Another Awesome Art Deco Truck.Great photo. Is that a right hand drive truck in Australia? I see "Sydney" in the corner and the only wiper is on the right. Did they change the name later to Rice Krispies in Australia?
Dave Gelinas (XP-300) Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) The following photos I tried to buy on ebay, but was unable to win.Sometimes there were accidents on Main Street.Below photos of a Dr. Pepper Truck flipped onto it's side.The photos tell the whole story.Circa Late 1940's early 1950's.Are those kids helping in the clean up, or making a heist.

nzcarnerd Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) The pic on the right in post #19 is a K Series Bedford and was shot in New Zealand. The registration plate appears to have a comma as punctuation which would suggest the pic was shot in the period 1951 to 1956 - License Plates of New Zealand The short-back-and-sides haircut of the milk vendor would help confirm that.
