I've never heard of a Witt Will make of truck

I never heard of Piggly Wiggly until I drove through Virginia, it's a big chain of grocery stores, and the above photo shows the Mack trucks that PW owned and operated. I find it interesting that the 2nd from the right has side lights

What a cool tow vehicle! Commentors on Shorpy had pointed out that in the early 20's it was cheaper to customize a formerly expensive and powerful luxury car to be a tow truck, than to buy a truck... I bet this was due to trucks being primitive, not much faster than 30mph, and a lot harder to come by than a used car http://www.shorpy.com/node/3988 and the sleuths at http://forums.aaca.org/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/531563/gonew/1/Pre_WWI_car_to_truck_conversio#UNREAD

found out that it is a 1911 Premier

1910's and 20's delivery trucks, why did the cabs have the half oval shaped windows?

The 2nd and 4th even have the honeycombed tires!


The above is a Mack truck
Coolest of all is this shot of what today is a common sight on Jeeps, the vinyl windows... but I've never known that they were used in the 10's and 20's
