Nope......it is actually Canadian (from Quebec, Canada). The LaFleur butcher company is still in business and celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2012. Here's the link to the LaFleur web page: https://lafleur.com/en/

That Model A photo originally appeared on their web page under the history tab, in 1930.

I wondered if that was the case Brad, but how could you tell?

John: Based on the license plate, your bakery truck is actually from Belgium.

A tire-less spare wheel seems not very useful.

Re: French
 

Thanks Brad, well spotted! I should have done more research!-https://timelessmoon.getarchive.net/amp/topics/old+images+of+ham+sur+heure
But how do you know the other was Canada?

Re: French
 

They were shipped without the spare tire. That must be a picture of his fairly new truck and he hasn't taken the time to see his dealer or tire shop for the rubber yet.

Re: French
 

The name on the side of the truck is a Quebec based company, Lafleur, which has never had any branches anywhere else than in Quebec, Canada (in the french speaking part of Canada). The "Alp. LeFleur" on the side of the truck is the short version of "Alphonse Lafleur", the name of the company's founder.

Here is the link to the Lafleur company history: https://lafleur.com/en/history/ where that photo was originally from.

For some reason there was a tire shortage in the US around 1975? cars were shipped with a rim in the trunk for later installation.

Thanks Brad, as always !
