Dang! I’d like to have it! Its design is far ahead of its time. Compare with the car behind it. Must’ve been one of the first vehicles with a curved windshield. I’ve no idea of its purpose. Serious about crackers | ||

I don't know but could it be a fuel delivery truck? The reason I'm thinking that is the Texaco worker on the left sure looks like he's either placing in or taking a hose out of the neck of an in-ground fuel tank.??? | |||

Yup, tanker from the streamliner craze in the 30's Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

That’s neat looking. I’ve always loved classic/vintage cars and trucks. Especially the unique specialized vehicles like that Texaco tanker. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Pretty cool. I could see Barry Weiss from Storage Wars pulling up in that. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

The photo in the 2nd link of your post looks identical to the photo in my OP, except it’s B&W. Likely the photo in my post was colorized. Serious about crackers | |||

Who Woulda Ever Thought? |
Yeah it's a fuel delivery truck. I have a Texaco collectable die cast model of that exact same truck. | |||

Pull the tank out of that and it could be made into a really nice travel RV. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Look to the right of hte pumps in your picture at the car in the background. That portion of your pic is the original B&W image that wasn't colorized. Note, spend enough time in a darkroom making B&W prints and the shade and gradation becomes something you recognize in less than a second. My hunch that the film used was Kodak XX, a predecessor to Tri-X. I've stopped counting. | |||

^^^^ Looks like it could be from "Iron Giant" | |||

No double standards |
That logo "T" looks like Tesla. Maybe Texaco could sue. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||
