Made in the USA in 1926, this Chevrolet Superior K Van has been restored to represent a typical delivery van of the era. For much of the 20th century Butchers, Bakers and Grocers offered deliveries to their customers. This van has been restored as a Stormonts Bakeries delivery van. Stormonts Bakery Limited was founded in 1914 in Auckland by John Stormont. The business operated a number of delivery vans throughout the Auckland region.
