That is really cool. The family history aspect of it just adds to the importance of the car.

Your post also brings up a pretty interesting point that I've thought about in this modern era of cellphones and the internet. There are probably more pictures of your Delivery than there were ever pictures taken of your grandfather. We take pictures today like we're pulling peanuts out of a barrel but back in the time of the Model A, they were sparingly taken and a luxury. Now, every aspect of a person's life is documented in some way.

Anyways, great story and a beautiful truck.

Well Tim, I have been doing a lot research about the history of printing in Seattle during that time. My Grandfather was very active in the Trade and in fact he was president of the local union and regional union all through the 30's. But I am still researching ,it takes a lot of time.

Yes I do have Tire Chains, but I do think it is Summer here in the NW. At least it was the last time I looked.

I really like old photos and that truck looks great. Good to see you combine them like this. You and your Grandfather did good. Mark.

Thank you for nice comments. On the licence plates, the truck is 1930 and the plates in the picture are 1931. In the State of Washington the plates have to be the year of the Truck.
