This old step-van is now used as a stationary sign for a D.U.I. school here in Cobb County, GA. Shot is with my Sony DSC-RX100 and fixed it up in the iPad version of CameraBag2.

It looks like this delivery truck is used by several different establishments and that each has particular qualities or offerings to appeal to different needs or desires. It looks to be in good working condition and not used solely for advertising.
Passed this truck coming back from the Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania. With the hand lettered(?) logo there was no way I couldn't stop. The location is approximate, and I think this van is for sale as it sat on what appeared to be a used car lot.
An understated paint job: The main element is the Charles Chips logo. The reverse yellow-on-black lettering is small, perhaps because of the effort or cost of making it bigger? The black is just an odd, abstract shape. I guess it's somewhat like a potato chip, but other than that, seems to have no purpose other than to make the yellow stand out. The star is a great touch, but again, why? Just a designer's flourish, or does the yellow star on the black background speak to the astral nature of the delivery service and food?
So what was being delivered here? It seems that Charles Chips was a regional brand (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Chips) founded by a couple named Si and Effie (names to warm my heart) with an interesting business history. At one point you would have these chips delivered directly to your home! Apparently these chips might still be in production somewhere?
Finally, note the Chevy hubcaps on the Grumman Olson van and that this was #3 in the fleet.
Here's a couple more:
I built something!
Two years ago I was asked (as usual) if I have a SWAT van that could be used in a potential Arkham set. I didn’t have one then (or did I?) but 30 minutes later I did.
Back then I figured that if it won’t be used, then I can always sneak it into something else as a taco truck or a TV van, whatever, but it went thru.
The build is pretty straightforward except for the front, that utilizes an odd combo of plates and brackets built in every direction on a footprint of a 2x2 brick to create the distinctive Chevy Stepvan headlight assemblies with it’s eyebrow turnsignals. No doors, as these things usually drive open, and since the doors are of sliding type, I don’t think it’s feasible in this scale.
As usual, I built it in different colors, and different lenghts, but the final product is pretty close to my initial sketch.
This is also the set where I was allowed to wish for an element for the first time ever in my career here at LEGO, and I went for a tyre that I needed for years now.
It’s a real gamechanger for me, and you’ll find that tyre from September 12th in the 76300 Arkham set.

Photographed in rural British Columbia, this is a 1960's Chevy 3000 Series forward control step van. The body was probably built by Grumman Olson however I cannot say for sure what year it is or which manufacturer did the bodywork because there are just too damn many versions of these. Chevy started making this series of vans around 1955 and continued doing so through 1967. They offered bodies by multiple outfitters with many different front end designs, some were badged as Chevy's others were not. Chevrolet also offered a larger Step Van King model starting in 1965. This is a very rare model because having scoured the internet I have not found another photograph of a Chevy step van with this exact front end styling. It has hubcaps from a GMC S15 pickup or Safari van.
In Midtown Manhattan. With the "We Deliver ^Cleaner Air^ for You!" labels, I assume this runs on alternative fuel. It also has no grill. Could it be electric?

We had our Chewy order delivered the other day by an unmarked FedEx truck. Doesn't even have plates on it. Maybe new??
