11/12/21: Bearing the yellow and blue branding of Helms Bakery, this 1933 Twin Coach delivery truck is a slice of automotive history.
Given a meticulous restoration in 2008, the rear-wheel-drive truck is up for auction on Bring a Trailer (with a current bid of $39,750 at the time of publishing) and features a classic ‘stand and drive’ configuration with brake/clutch pedals.
According to the spec, the engine was rebuilt in 2009, and the ‘Hercules 199ci flathead inline-four utilises a single Zenith 94-T carburettor and was rated by the manufacturer at 37.5 horsepower and 124 lb-ft of torque.’
The classic trick has a restored cabin with built-in wooden flooring, shelving and cabinets that have all been refinished.
The vintage truck is located in Los Angeles.
