Hi Everyone, you have helped me in the past & I hope you can help me again. We are writing an article to explain the history and background of this image depicting an early use of wireless (Radio) to help delivering bread to the everyday housewife (!)

 

I can read the nameplate  Autocar Co. on the side of the truck and the bread delivery service seems to be located in Philadelphia

 

- I believe it was taken in 1922, but I wonder what year and model the truck is ?

 

Does the wheelbase seem short, or were most bakery trucks designed like this?

 

Thank you in advance for any help!
