2/13/20 48/100 Delivery Truck

Remember the flatbed truck, #41 of 100, and how it has a separate chassis cab for multiple models?  Well this is the second version, the Delivery Truck, using a typical box design with opening rear doors with a nice rooster crowing on the sides of the box.  The rest of the truck is the fantastic generic Matchbox version of the Isuzu Elf, though it seems less impressive here:  Could it be the commonplace cargo box design seen so much, especially in its predecessor the Volvo box truck?  Or maybe the unique play value of the flatbed truck overdoes this typical box truck?  Who knows, but either way this truck has more variations than the flatbed truck including an interesting move in 2005 when the start of the Matchbox golden age started with a licensed brand on the delivery truck, a Duracell box truck.
