01
Artifact Overview
Ford trucks received small styling changes to their radiator shells and wheels for 1936. This photo, staged for advertising purposes, shows a Ford truck delivering ice blocks to a refrigerated railcar. In truth, railcar owners like Union Refrigerator Transit Company maintained their own icing stations. Fresh ice was loaded through hatches on the railcar's roof -- the side doors were for cargo.
