The drums on the "service car" in that picture don't look like 16 inch drums to me. If they are,then just WHAT was the wheel diameter on the Model "A"?
Those drums look way too small to me and if they aren't 16 inch,then just what make of vehicle is the truck?

The really impressive part of it was the way he finessed the back of the cab.Apparently he was able to graft the rear of some sort of truck cab to the part of the Packard body that was cut off just behind the front doors.
Sylvia learned to drive a standard shift on this vehicle and I recall seeing it all over town in the late 50's and early 60's.She has no idea what became of it later on.
It seems as if he had an appreciation for cars and little for fine looking women.

At least the Model "A" looks like "Perfessional work" if not PROfessional.

It is, essentially, a very snazzy pickup truck.
