VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

I had one like the one over the cab.
A 56 President w/ 289 2bbl (side draft), 3spd OD, even had a hill holder clutch.

 

Looks photo shopped.
That is one yuge flag on top of that building.

 

What is this??

 

A gasoline delivery truck used to keep gas stations supplied.

 

Fire Department Water Tanker. 1930 - 31 Model AA I am thinking.

 

Two answers so far,, anyone else?

 

The lady in the third picture, riding the Norton, is Beatrice ('Tilly') Shilling, an engineer who worked in aviation in the UK before and during WW2. She designed the carburettor modification for the Rolls Royce Merlin engine that prevented engine cutout in negative G situations (Did you ever wonder why they roll over on their back before diving in all those old war movies?). She got an OBE for that! The modified part was irreverently referred to as 'Tilly's orifice'. After the war she went car racing and passed away in 1990 aged 81.

Looks like a stylized fuel tanker to me. They were popular in the 30's. Truck is a '34 Ford... note the v8 emblem on the hood side

 

If I had one of those I would try to convert it to a beer hauler for parties.

 

Thanks I did not notice the emblem.
