I'll second the Franklin ID. Vertical ribs on the radiator face is a very Franklin styling detail.

 

Nice lookin' pre-1921 White 3/4 ton.

 

Interesting truck in Springfield, MA. It looks like the top material over the driver's area is held in place with snaps, and is removable like you'd see on some open front limousines of the era.

 

Looks like a '29 Packard seven passenger sedan, and judging from the clothes and point of interest, I'd say they're dealing with a vapor lock.

 

Twin, my guess is Brimingham, about 1923.

 

My WAG, Nyberg 1913

 

Hey, Twin, back in the day, how'd they deal with vapor lock? Didn't they pour some denatured alcohol into the tank???

 

ooooo...1918 American-LaFrance Type 75 6-cyl Triple-combo! I would love to build one of these into a 7 or 9 passenger Touring

 

Yikes! I've never heard of that incident, but I've been through the Wenona Street RR crossing.

-----------------
It looks like a '28 or so White "Town
Car Delivery"' truck. It was a deluxe,
and intentionally 'limousine-styled' delivery
truck intended for businesses who wanted
to project an "upscale" image. They were
extremely rare beasts, even when new and
I doubt that any have survived. I posted a
circa-1928 "Town Car Delivery"
advertising pic, along with a bunch of other
vintage White truck ads on another HAMB
thread.

A couple of questions about the fire truck......

Would the chains over the rear dual wheels have been put on for the photo?

Are the front tyres "special"?

Not Cleveland.... Bend, OR

 

Serious looking group - perhaps a funeral that day.

 

Unfortunately.

 

Not RARE at all! Everybody has one! And they're built everywhere!

 

J.S. Shaw, manager of the Hammond Lumber Co. leaving Mill City for Astoria Colorado. The car is a circa 1910 Stevens-Duryea.
