this is our second of these large Coca Cola/ Buddy L trucks and neither has any indication of place of manufacture or date......we've checked with the old Petretti books and the best we can do is guess it's made in USA because all the older Buddy L's were made here and just going with other sales we believe they are late 50's or early 60's.........this is a nice truck .....good paint,good wheels,good spring action on front end........some scratching on the CC and Buddy L signage.....of course leaving it on display initially cost us our handtruck and some cases of pop,but it is still a nice old vehicle.................from non smoking home.......................please check our other items for more collectables
