The last photo looks like an older Groucho Marx sitting on the Model A truck.
No Ford oval in the radiator.
Not that Groucho ever drove a truck. In the 20s when he and his brothers were on Broadway, he was a fan of luxury cars, he wrote once that he had a Pierce Arrow.
One story he told:
One day he was washing it near Central Park.
A guy passes and says it’s a beautiful car.
“Yes” Groucho says, it belongs to my boss”.
The stranger asks what It’s like being a chauffeur…
“He pays terrible…but he lets me sleep with his wife”…

LOL Roy Acuff was out mowing his land out by the road, on an old tractor. Likely and old Ford 8N. Some older woman pulls up and asks him - "what does that lady the that lives here give you for mowing her land?" Roy; "Maam, she lets me sleep with her". Obviously the woman sped off in horror. Whistlin' Bill Anderson just loves telling that story. LOL
