Gene F - In the Model A era Frigidaire was owned by GM. So if the special pickup was hauling a Frigidaire it was likely a trade-in on a new GE. The brand was so popular many people came to describe any refrigerator (including GEs) as a Frigidaire. (Kelvinator was owned by Nash Motors, later purchased by AMC.) My grandmother, who kept all her possessions in tip-top shape and loathed replacing anything, had a refrigerator that was already very old in the 1950s, with a barrel-shaped heat exchanger on top. It ran on gas, just like the adjacent stove. The blue pilot light flame was clearly visible to my 5 year old self playing on the floor. My father attempted to explain how a gas flame made the refrigerator cold but it remained obscure to me. Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion on Model A Fords already in progress.

David, those types of refrigeration / air-conditioners are known as absorbers. Thank you for the info.

Probably the rarest of all, at least for US production - the 1931 Travelers Wagon, a Model A RV. Less than a dozen made - a few replicas but no known original survivors. It was an offshoot of the Special Delivery which was an offshoot of the Station Wagon. It had fold-down bed and wash basin, storage chest, water tank under the roof, screens and curtains on the rear windows, locks on the doors and roll-up windows in the front ones.

Red and yellow paint, with a fictitious logo he put on it. It was on the cover of Model A News once. Do not know where it is now.....
