Corgi OM41102 Daimler CVG6 East Lancs "Huddersfield Corporation Transport"

This item has a limited edition certificate included.

The name East Lancashire Coachbuilders was first registered in October 1934 when the firm manufactured bodies for vans, lorries and small coaches. A major change took place in May 1938 when Alfred Alcock and George Danson moved from Massey Brothers to become directors of the Company. They brought their expertise in the building of larger buses, particularly double deckers. Metal framing was introduced from these early days and the firm became known as a major supplier to the municiple sector of the market. Since the decline of this market, the customer base has widened to embrace all types of operator including major groups, both at home and abroad.
