Default Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!

In honor of the weather (in the US, at least) here are four images of commercial bodies in the snow :

First, a stake body in a factory photo:



Second, a similar truck in real life (note the shortened running board, and apron, and the lack of rear fenders):



Third, does this ever look cold! Look closely... I'm all but certain that's an AA, not a GAZ:



Fourth, GAZ AA's experienced some of the most serious snow conditions ever (apart from the two "A" snowmobiles that Byrd abandoned in Antarctica in 1933). This looks to me to be Wehrmacht soldiers pushing a captured Red Army Gaz, but I may be wrong. Anyone have any better information?
