Ertl 2518 1:43 Scale 1930 Chevy Panel Van

This is an interesting 1:43 scale diecast model of a vintage 1930 Chevy panel van. It could be used in an O scale model railroad "steam era" scene or diorama.

Similar prototype 1930 Chevy van photo shown. Looking for more similar prototype photos of this van.

Here are photos of the box for this Ertl model. It is called a 1930 Chevy Truck.

I like that little truck, too, and have had it for several years. Although it does not exactly fit the general "circa' of my layout, I always have found a place for it somewhere, like pulled-in by this local coal distributor company. How do you guys like it, here, in situ as it were? I thought it should have been weathered-up a bit but haven't had the heart to do so.

What's this other little guy, which seems similar to me, though not a panel truck?
