good advertising method



strange little delivery truck pulling that trailer, which has regular size wheels most likely, so, what manufacture made that truck? Austin/Bantam is the easy answer, because it's tiny - but is that a correct guess?

two '29 Ford taxi's which have been converted to delivery vehicles by painting over the side windows (homemade sedan deliveries) and a Model AA School Bus with a drivers side door


taken May 25, 1934 in front of the Texas Capitol Building in Austin

the Model A Ford Taxi had the lowest production of all 1929 Model A's other than the Town Car (4,576 vs. 913).
 In fact, Ford made more A-400 Convertible Sedans in 1931 than they made Taxi's in 1929
(4,864 vs. 4,576)
