Our Mission
To promote the preservation, restoration, operation and history of Divco Trucks, Milk
Trucks, and other Multi-Stop Delivery Vehicles.
DCoA Profile
Founded in 1991 and incorporated in 1998, The Divco Club of America today is a
non-profit, educational corporation with members all over the US and Canada. Some
own delivery trucks themselves, while others just have an interest in remembering a way of
life characterized by multi-stop trucks bringing goods and services right to the
door.
Divco History
Trucks built by the Detroit Industrial Vehicle Company
and its successors, were once as much a part of the American way of life as baseball and
mom's apple pie. Chances are your milkman drove a DIVCO. So
did the laundry man, the baker, and even the paper boy's route man. From 1926, until
1986, Divco produced multi-stop delivery trucks unlike any others. Only the VW
Beetle stayed in production with the same basic model for a longer period of time.
Today many people consider Divco as the icon for the multi-stop delivery era. DIVCO HISTORY DATA

then you're invited to join us as well. You don't have to own a Divco, or any kind
of truck, to join. Membership is open to anyone with an interest. Here are
some of the benefits:
 | Membership: dues are $24
per year for individuals, $26 for families (includes spouse and dependent children) or $36

and Multi-Stop History, restoration, operation and collectibles. Share memories with
other fans. Our classified ads (see below) help you buy or sell trucks, parts, and
memorabilia. And our letter columns help people with like interests keep in touch
all across the country. Just mail your MEMBERSHIP
APPLICATION FORM with annual dues to the address below.. Back issues of the Divco
News are also available. BACK ISSUE INDEX. |
| Trucks and Parts For Sale: The Divco News Classified Section
in each issue is the world's best place to buy and sell Divco (and other multi-stop)
trucks, parts, and memorabilia. All classified advertising is always FREE to
members. We also provide free ads to non-members with multi-stop trucks or parts for sale.
We regret we are unable to offer "wanted" ads or "for sale"
information to non-members, as our current club membership receives first priority for
that sort of information. The information is also NOT available online. |
| News for Members: Sometimes something of interest happens BEFORE the next newsletter goes to
press. To communicate more quickly, we publish the information here first. MEMBER NEWS UPDATE |
| The Divco Club Library: contains thousands of pages of parts books, maintenance manuals,
advertising materials, and production records. Photocopies are available for a nominal
charge. We also have many parts sources available to assist with truck restoration
and maintenance. Click here to send an e-mail request to the Club Library. Because of high demand,
we regret that we must also limit most library services to current club members. |
| The Divco Club discussion group: gives members a chance to discuss their favorite Divco and Multi-Stop
subjects online. Provided through Yahoo Groups, the site can be accessed at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Divcoclub/.
(You'll have to sign up with Yahoo if you aren't already a Yahoo member.) |
Show your interest: DCoA offers a number of Divco styled and logo* items, including shirts,
belt buckles, and even scale model trucks. Proceeds from the sale of these items go
to further club goals. You don't have to be a member to purchase, and you can shop online
