Hemmings Find of the Day – 1946 Diamond T popcorn wagon

Published by Mike on June 27, 2015

As a working vehicle for the last several decades, of course this 1946 Diamond T popcorn wagon for sale on Hemmings.com has seen a number of upgrades: neon signs and lighting, linoleum surfaces inside, modern vending equipment. But it appears the basic body and drivetrain are all original despite the obvious years of continuous use, and it appears that the wagon could return immediately to vending popcorn, caramel corn, cotton candy, and other dentist’s dreams. From the seller’s description:
