Firetrucks, anyone?

Here's one with an ocean liner, no less:

And here's one with ONE whitewall tire (tough budget year for the municipality?):

Many of us are familiar with the WWII roles played by "AA's" produced in England and Germany and GAZ "AA's" produced in the Soviet Union.

Here are a couple of images from an earlier conflict... the Brazilian Revolution of 1930.

Looks like the Brazilians opted for the extra-cost bumpers on the phaeton, but not on the commercial vehicles.

My '29 Panel Delivery in 1971 and now. The rest of the story is here: http://www.thefreemancenter.com/Free...y_History.html

I've also been part of a "Yahoo Group" of Model A Panel owners for a few years. We are always looking for others who are interested in these old trucks.

Ford AA truck 1931 (FP 1 - 1)

A new search for armored vehicles started in 1930. After looking at vehicles as the Carden-Loyd VI Light Tank and the French Autochienille de Cavallerie M 1928, economy forced the Army to build their own vehicles for evaluation. The chassis chosen was a Ford, and the "armor" was made of steel-plates which made it possible to alter the vehicle when required.
The truck was armed with a 20 mm machine canon and 2 machine guns.
Evaluation of this new vehicle started in October 1931 where it participated in a spring exercise. The vehicle did´nt perform that well, and by the end of the year the project was cancelled.

Photo history #51, page 3...

The photo is that of Ezra Meeker, who was 98 years of age at the time.

Ford Motor Company presented the 1928 AA Ford to Meeker as he was planing his 6th trip across the American (USA) continent to once again call the attention to the Old Oregon Trail. Three (3) trips were by ox team (first in 1852), 1 by motor car and 1 by airplane. (Ford News, Vol. 8, #22)

The vehicle seen in #51 was dubed the "oxmobile" and it was set up so as he could cook and sleep as well as travel in his "Ford covered wagon".

It was understood that Henry Ford expressed an interest in the "oxmobile" when Meeker completed the trip and it was to be placed in Henry Ford's American Museum in Greenfield Village. However the Oregon Trail Memorial Association also wanted it.

However before Meeker could make the trip, he passed away.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE "OXMOBILE"?

That is a good question. Neither the Ford Museum nor the Oregon Trail Memorial Association has it nor is there any more known information on the vehicle.

Anybody know the rest of the story?

Not a commercial body style, but I think this qualifies as a commercial vehicle.

Here's another Railroad application... a Railbus.
