Period images to relieve some of the stress

What truck lover wouldn't want to own this lil beauty?

Wonder if any still exist with this configuration?

 

Note the extinguisher over the passengers right shoulder. 
Amazing glimpse of the many truck types that rolled out during those industrious times.

So many simple yet gorgeous things to see on such a small platform.

I'd love to see if someone can put color to this...

 

Edit

I realize it's been posted earlier but was hoping someone had color capabilities to enhance it for us.

Can anyone give a positive ID on the type of vehicles? First one is said to be a Regal.

Yes, these are Regal Underslungs. They belonged to a commercial photographer in the area. There are quite a few very clear photographs of these cars on a local history website.

These were taken by Charles Trefts. The car behind the bike looks like a Maxwell.

 

There are more photos here:

 

CHARLES TREFTS PHOTOGRAPHS, 1903-1963 (P0034)

 

This collection contains images from 1900 to 1963 depicting St. Louis City and County people, public buildings, riverfront scenes, bridges, churches, catastrophes, houses and parks. Trefts photographed many historic events such as the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition; the 1934 World Series; and aviation in St. Louis including the Wright brothers at Kinloch Field in 1908 and Charles Lindbergh's return from Paris in 1927. A number of images focus on Crawford and Iron Counties and the Lake of the Ozarks region in the early 1930s.

My Irfanview software isn't the sophisticated version that does much with color but did bring more background up.

Interesting as Roscoe(Fatty) Arbuckle's car is. I find the 3 Franklin delivery trucks even more so.

They are hauling perfumed laundry. Couldn’t of weighed much and the wind blowers helped waft the perfume as the drove as advertising. Just a thought.

Looks like it was done pre WWII era , well then if the car exists now perhaps the owner would make an application with CCCA for a approval of "full classic" ( not partial or 45%  but full  classic)  if it is restored with plated wheels etc. it will be at a Grand Classic, or a concours or resto mod festival. 🤩
