[Done] Twilight Zone - Dodge Delivery Truck
Published 28/08/2009 @ 02:57:54, By Commander 57
This delivery truck appears in the very first Twilight Zone, Ep 1-1.
It is not driven but figures prominently in one scene.

(I am not great at identifying trucks but do know that this is a Dodge from either 1955 or 1956. Could not tell you the precise model.)

That's a 1954-56 Town Panel.

Thanks, Ddey65.
My admittedly limited truck reference material indicates Dodge did not adopt a wrap-around windshield on it's trucks until the 1955 model year. Can we at least eliminate 1954 from the possibilities?
(None of the 1954 Dodge cars had wrap-around's. I find it hard to believe their trucks got one a year ahead of the cars.)
Also, notice the slightly hooded headlight rims. I believe the 1954's rims had no hoods.

That is something worth noting, yes. Perhaps we should start scoping 1954-56 Dodge trucks for panoramic and non-panoramic windshields.

Have just finished reading 3 separate articles by different authors on the history of Dodge pick-ups and all 3 state the wrap-around windshield was not used on Dodge trucks until 1955.
