Juha Paavo Kaita Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi!This photo has been taken in a place called Vehmaa in Finland. Vehmaa is famous for its red granit. My opinion is that this is a 6 cylinder Chevrolet truck from late 1920´s or early 1930´s. Is this right?I have a Reo Model G Heavy Duty Speed Wagon 2 tn truck. Also my truck was used in Vehmaa to carry blocks of red granit.Best wishesJuha KaitanenTurku, Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juha Paavo Kaita Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi!Thank you for good replies. I was born in Vehmaa. My father and grandfather used to work for stone quarry company. There is a special museum in Vehmaa where you can see how stone work was once done. Next time when I visit I shall take a photo of the men operated crane which was used to load and unload blocks of rock. Also shafts and reels were used.Best wishes Juha KaitanenTurku Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DeSoto Frank Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Definitely not Chevrolet - they did not build that big / heavy a truck in the '20s.Could be a Dodge Brothers / Graham, also possibly GMC or International, although I believe both had name plates fastened to the sides of the hood.
