Whenever I see an old panelwagon, I get hungry for a donut. Good memories.
If you lived in SoCal back in the late 50's & 60's they used to have a mobile Donut delivery truck called Helm's Bakery.

That was the day's, fresh bottled milk delivered to your door and the bonus of the Helms Bakery.

HDD, there is a truck identical to that right by my house and it belong to a place called Brew Bakers. They brew beer and bread. Very cool place. You can make you own brew in you own custom bottle there.
their choclate donuts were the best... nothing even comes close these days...i can still hear that "whistle" coming up the street....
good old days......
I remember those guys, the truck they drove in my neighborhood was a chevy panel truck with doors on the sides that opened up to expose the sweet cargo. Nice piece of California Trivia...

And remember the "whistle" of the Helms' Man? I'll never forget that, or the fact that the donuts were in big long drawers! I got my Maple Bar fix from our helms bakery man! I'm off to KK's now, thanks for the calories HDD!
Best smelling trucks around.
