30DodgePanel Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 (edited) These fleet photos are important to save and make note of in case anyone is looking for them in the future. Here's a look at 6 of the 15 units that Cole's Laundry in Grand Rapids MI had in their fleet at that time. I'm guessing this photo to be around 1925-1928 as they would add another 9 vehicles to the fleet by the time the fleet data below was published Nov 1st, 1930. If anyone is from Grand Rapids MI please make sure the local building historical society is aware of it. Here's the current view according to Google. In my opinion it's fascinating to know if the current owner is aware of the history of the building they own or rent.

30DodgePanel Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 (edited) Ole GB work horse doing what it was built for. The business was referred to as the Overland Trail & Tire Co. at 30th and Taylor in Omaha NE (3015 Taylor). Unfortunately the building is no longer there. Description of the unit: Built sometime between 1924 and 1926 It's a 223 Stock Rack Body (bed) and a 205 Cab with the doors removed. Looks to be on a 1 1/2 ton CB chassis due to the larger wood wheels. There would have been two choices for the chassis with wood wheels that fit the profile. It's either a 140" CB or a 158" FB model. I'd bet it's a CB because the FB model would have likely appeared longer in the photo, even at this angle. With all the show trucks being redone today it's important to remember their role in the progress of our country and the world lest we forget.

I did go ahead and purchase this photo to scan it then have the ability to zoom in and view some of the details better. What I found was a bit striking (to me at least). The lighter letters for a shadow on the sign work and subtle imperfections are not noticeable from a distance but are encouraging to see up close on the visor. Not to critique, but rather an interesting note of how imperfect our world was and yet we enjoyed items like this truck in all it's imperfections. Overlapping brush marks, wavy pinstripe, body panels that don't quite align and have small buldges. Imagine how some premadonnas would flip out in todays world if they purchased this truck restored. You could tell them "what,,, those brush marks? that's originally ... SEE, look at the photo" Imagine overspraying one of the tires on a finished vehicle today? Blashpemy! Good look at the tail light setup and the word "special" on the back of a license plate for some reason. I'm always amazed where they added touches of pinstriping and designs. My point is, when you're looking for old photos to purchase or share with others remember that once you scan them you see so much more than you would otherwise. If your budget allows such purchases of photos, I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to know more about the details. I spent around $10 on this photo but the information I gained was priceless in my opinion. If you have some details that you can share that may help others put things in perspective please share them. Thanks Dave 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
