Once again, the photo inspiration for this drawing came from @mozarts_ride on Instagram. Cary says:
1928-32 Ford Truck... I spotted "Miss Hazel" while driving through the Texas Hill Country, near Fredericksburg. She's a nicely restored Ford truck, and has a load of wine barrels on the back. Miss Hazel is only used for advertising the winery, but she does appear to run... 😎

."Henry Ford envisioned a chassis that could accommodate third-party beds, cargo areas and other add-ons to deliver the increased functionality needed to get work done. It was a formula for success. By 1928, Ford had sold 1.3 million Model TTs before replacing the truck with the more capable Model AA with a 1.5-ton chassis.🌟
.Henry Ford marketed his early trucks heavily in rural areas, according to Bob Kreipke, Ford historian. “Model AA trucks in particular had a certain class to them,” he said. “Customers could use them on the farm, yet still take them to church on Sunday.” (Media Ford, "Ford Celebrates 100 Years of Truck History -- from 1917 Model TT to 2017 F-150 Raptor", Jul 27, 2017 DEARBORN, Mich.)
