That delivery certainly had all the bells and whistles. Dual chrome plated horns and dual windshield wipers plus chrome hub covers. That was quite a delivery van.

Henry and Edsel wer always around for those milestone events in production. Three million wasn't bad since they had started production around the WWI era. Trucks were not the high production vehicles then that they are now.

The V8 spear (I don’t know if there is an official name for that graphic design) reminds me of a story about FIAT. Supposedly, FIAT (not yet Fiat?) incorrectly believed that “V8” was a term copyrighted by Ford, so when they brought out their first V8 they called it 8V. Could be true but I’m not sure. I wasn’t there at the time.
