A lot of them were used for work. Interestingly, the pickups were usually add on to Roadsters in the early days. Many of the earlier cars were sold as a chassis and whatever body the customer wanted was aftermarket. I still remember some T's being used for business when I was a boy. Even still some horses pulling wagons on the streets of Los Angeles and suburbs. All these things were common until about 1940.

The photo of the Peerless Bakery deliver car has a Ford Beuudette body.
Note the decal on the ouside just behind the vehicle seat.

My family moved west to Los Angeles in the mid-50s from Providence/Pawtucket R.I.
There may have been branches in multiple major cities throughout the country, but I clearly recall my father talking about the National Casket Company factory in Providence.
Can't be sure where the photo was taken and the license plate on the vehicle is illegible, so that's no help.
Thanks for posting, Tom.

Mike.

Does the Roadster in the 12th picture have a Sinclair logo on it? I’m not sure because the lettering around it isnt real clear on my IPad. Very neat business signs and the guy running for commissioner sign is really cool!

8-) That must be an early TT; 7th from the bottom hauling long logs. Low radiator, aftermarket cab pre Ford cab no cowl lamps. Very interesting

John,

I don't think the logo on the car is a Sinclair logo but a Swift & Company USA logo.

Yes. The arrow in the S makes it Swift. Hadn’t thought of that one.
