| Vintage Oldsmobile Delivery Truck |
Did not find much information about this truck. It appears to reside in Ohio. Looking at other old Oldsmobile trucks, this one appears to be a 1920 model. Wikipedia tells us that Oldsmobile introduced a six cylinder engine in 1920, but looking at the short hood on this I suspect it is a four cylinder engine.
From Mac's Motor City Garage:
In 1919, the automaker made its next serious run at the commercial vehicle market with the Oldsmobile Economy Truck. Rated at one to two tons, the Economy was extensively advertised in the living-room magazines of the day and marketed primarily to farmers and merchants. Under the hood was an overhead-valve four of 224 cubic inches with 40 hp that was shared with some Olds passenger cars, paired with a conventional three-speed gearbox. Geared for pulling with a double-reduction rear axle, the vehicle was limited to 24 mph. Available as a chassis, a chassis and cab, or an open express, the Economy Truck was offered through 1924 and more than 16,000 were produced.
