That would be an awesome project. I've always had a thing for trucks and more recently the panel deliveries. Hopefully someone with the appropriate funds will take on this one. Matt

I had a chance to buy a '36 Terraplane panel about 18 years ago and a passed, did not have the money and the condition was pretty bad. It was in Texas at the time, anyone know if one of these is still around. This one was white.

I know Eldon has a 36 Terraplane Panel, in poor condition, but i think it is black. I saw it a few years ago.

There was a trailered Panel Delivery at the RENO NATIONAL...as I recall it looked as tho it had been used for target for many many years.. Maybe someone has an update or more info on that truck

That '38 at Reno is supposedly the only one known to currently exist It is undergoing a complete resto out in California somewhere. It was a running/driving truck, too, IIRC.

Actually a picture of Eldon's is in the November issue of Hemmings Collector Car, and it is black.

There are two '36's known to exist among H-E-T members. One is Eldon Hostetler's (slated for restoration) and the other is Burl Gingerich's (currently undergoing long-term restoration). Burl had his to the last Dearborn National on a trailer, I seem to recall.

For what it's worth, Alan Walrath of NY also has a 39 panel truck, the kind with the headlights in the fenders

Bill, I'm sure you miss it. But may I say that the Hemmings restoration is gorgeous. I was up at the museum in Bennington VT. in Oct. and actually sat in it. Boy what a treat.....

Aaron, You are on the money when you said they were used up and then scrapped. The reason for the Hemmings Terraplane van being around is due to the effort of club member Dave Bullock. Dave actually obtained the truck from a mortuary in Pennsylvania in the sixties. THATS why it survived {no pun intended}. It had been parked in a building and pretty much forgotten about. Subsequently it passed into several hands before it arrived in Bennington...
