Period Vehicles - 1948-1952

My layout is set in a relatively narrow time period of 1948 to 1952.  That provides for plenty of steam as well as first-generation diesels.  I limit my motive power and rolling stock to what would have appeared during that period.  Since my layout is largely complete, I can spend time on details such as vehicles.  What is on the roads should also match the 1948-1952 time period, so I am always looking for interesting vehicles from that period and the prior years.  Some of my vehicles date back to the 1930s, but the majority are 1940s until 1952.  Most of the vehicles are either resin kits, 3D printed, or kitbashed and detailed commercial vehicles.
