Model A's may be the most versatile vehicle ever made, nothing else was a delivery truck, railcar, firetruck, racecar... infinite variety

Old fashioned fuel tankers from the 50's or so... when they had good looking designs
The fairing from the cab that goes to the back of the rear tires is good for aerodynamics, and good for a couple more miles per gallon, but really makes a semi look good

Unusual variety of vehicles in recent Shorpy postings
photo from 1920
http://www.shorpy.com/node/4240?size=_original a 1½-ton Republic chassis and body of specific design. The body is 7 feet wide and 22 feet long.
The first Ms. America, Margaret Gorman, in a very limited production car by Birmingham, they coated the body in "Fabrikoid" a DuPont material that looks like alligator hide
1921 exposition was the cause to modify this Cleveland motorbike to showcase a milk company

1938 Dodge Airflow, cool old fuel truck
I was just reading in the Haggerty newsletter (March 2010) about the Ford museum in Dearborn, and how they were looking for one of these fuel tankers, and that they couldn't find one in even halfway decent condition.. they'd all been used to death. So they restored one, or bought one that had been restored, and the museum now has it's fuel tanker and it's one of the few or only vehicles there that isn't in original / as found condition. They are so proud of the original condition vehicles they actually glue paint chips back onto the 999 when they fall off
