Divco – other models: the collective page of the 42 and Daily 35-140 types, four- to six-cylinder engines of 2.3 to 4.1 litres, gross weight up to 3,500 kg
This page gathers the versions listed in the register under the designation Divco, 42 and Daily 35-140, which the register could not assign to a named series of its own. The Divco brand name denotes a Detroit maker that from 1926 to 1986 built mainly milk-delivery vans with a quite distinctive stand-up driving position.

The register lists 2 versions here with displacement from 2,287 to 4,100 cm³ from four- to six-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 2,490 to 2,980 kg, a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg and widths from 1,960 to 2,150 mm.
With a span from van to delivery-vehicle values, this collective page covers a segment of light commercial vehicles for urban and regional distribution transport, the kind classic delivery-van brands served for decades across different countries and different chassis; the displacement span from 2.3 to 4.1 litres reflects two technically distinct vehicle generations built decades apart.
For a used example, check corrosion on the frame and body, the condition of the clutch, brakes and suspension, the tightness of the driver's cab, and on the older versions the availability of parts through specialist classic-vehicle dealers and enthusiast clubs; on the more modern versions, parts run through the regular dealer network of the respective base vehicle.
