Default Period photo with sedan delivery and panel trucks

I found this on another site and noticed the number of panel trucks and the sedan delivery on this one street in a very small town in Maryland from the mid 1930's. It would lead one to believe that there were more panel trucks and sedan deliveries in greater numbers than survived to today? Photo taken from Historical Society of Cecil County, MD Facebook page. The town is Perryville, MD.

My guesses are the first in the row, a 33-35 Ford Sedan Delivery, next a 32-34 panel truck. I am not sure what the last one is, but my guess is International panel truck? Looks like a nice 33-34 Ford Fordor peaking out and, of course, the 1930 Model A Standard Coupe in the foreground.

Great picture taken in a small town relatively close to where I live.

Might be, but also that pic is taken outside a row of shop/businesses so maybe that accounts for the cluster of commercial vehicles.

And that town is definitely built on a hill!

Nice share MHS!
