The Ford Motor Co. Kelly-Springfield trucks built in Springfield, OH by the Kelly Motor Truck Company are delivering supplies to Highland Park Ford Plant. The lead image was taken next to the new concrete pad recently poured next to the Ford Plant. This is the area was used for tuning and adjusting Model T Fords fresh off of the assembly. Being in a photo was a novelty at the time a dozen Ford workers stopped and posed for the photo.

Wow !! Heavy duty + ! It would take 2 men just to lift that front axle. I didn’t realize Kelly Springfield built trucks. They sure resemble bulldog Mack’s🇺🇦 And driving at night with only high mounted kerosene lamps ??
