01
Artifact Overview
Like its Model A cars, Ford's trucks received only minor updates for 1931. Still, the company introduced nearly 20 new commercial body styles that year to counter falling sales during the Great Depression. Panel trucks were among the most versatile, used by grocers, bakeries, dairies, and other businesses with delivery services.
