On the way downtown - you've seen him. This immaculately kept International D40 is in front of the iconic brick building on Terminal Avenue in Vancouver. He's about the same year as our 1937 International D40 "Vanderspek". D series trucks were made between 1937 and 1940 a classic look. The building is formerly Canada Packers built in 1937 in a classic Moderne industrial streamline style. The area was formerly wetland, filled in and developed after the CNR built the viaduct in 1937. The building was a slaughterhouse and meat processing plant. Canada Packers formed in 1927 and existed until 1991. After the Terminal Avenue Canada Packers closed, it became a self storage location.
