description: A small go-cart style milk truck. The frame is constructed out of extra heavy duty electronically welded steel, while the body is made of fiberglass. A 3 3/4 HP Briggs & Stratton engine powers this small truck, while a single rear wheel, foot operated brake slows the unit. information: Produced in the 1950's as a marketing tool, these small trucks were very popular. Originally the truck bodies were constructed out of a vacuum formed polystyrene plastic which was far inferior to fiberglass. Due to may problems with the plastic body, Robel switched to an all fiberglass body. Often times these toys were given away as prizes on television shows such as the Price is Right. learn more: View as Featured Item, March 2008 |
