1952 Bedford "OLBD' 5-Ton Dropside Truck (1/24) (fs)
Bedford Vehicles, usually shortened to just Bedford, was a subsidiary of Vauxhall Motors, itself the British subsidiary of General Motors (GM), established in 1930; and constructing commercial vehicles. Bedford Vehicles was a leading international truck manufacturer, with substantial export sales of light, medium, and heavy trucks throughout the world. It was GM Europe's most profitable venture for several years.
Bedford played a significant role in manufacturing trucks for the British war effort in WWII, and in the 1950's leveraged their expertise into a wide variety of light to heavy commercial vehicles. These popular five ton trucks, popular with international truck builders and railroaders for years, recently went out of production.
