Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please identify the make and year of this vehicle.

Helms Bakery Divco Twin.
This is not entirely correct, but you are very close. Locked for you to find the right marque and the year.

There's your point, well done. Twin Coach, based in Kent, Ohio, and Divco (Detroit Industrial Vehicle Company), merged 5 years after this unit was built, under the direction of the Fageol brothers. This unit's engine was apparently swapped at some point for a Chevy V8 (I'm surprised it fit!) and it was put up for sale in 2010.
