A 1937 Stutz Pak-Age-Car milk truck

[Source: "Stutz suspended automobile production in January, 1934, and tried to keep in business with a delivery van called the Pak-Age-Car. The effort failed dismally and Stutz was liquidated following its 1937 bankruptcy." - Bodenhamer, David J.; Barrows, Robert G., eds. (1994), The Encyclopedia of Indianapolis, Indiana University Press, p. 279, ISBN 9780253112491.]

- ALT1:... that luxury car makers Auburn and Stutz both built Pak-Age-Car's (pictured)? [Source: "Although [Stutz] continued to operate while in bankruptcy, the creditors were unable to agree upon a plan, and in April 1939, the firm was ordered to be liquidated. The Auburn Automobile Company established the Pak-Age-Car Corporation of Connersville as a wholly-owned subsidiary to manufacture the delivery vehicles, and the related equipment moved to Connersville."

(2018), The Indianapolis Automobile Industry: A History, 1893-1939, McFarland, p. 255, ISBN 9781476629384; "On October 15, Auburn blossomed out with its new automotive product: an ingenious one-ton, stand-up-and-drive, house-to-house delivery wagon, particularly suited to milk-route use. It had been Stutz's last hope, where it had been known as the Pak-Age-Car."

new enough, long enough, well cited. Love the picture too, that should definitely lead! Maury Markowitz (talk) 10:49, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

@Maury Markowitz: It's a most peculiar vehicle. The owner had one more stand-up-and-drive at the show. Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:09, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
