Summary

[edit]
Description

The Federal Motor Truck Company was an American truck manufacturer headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, operating from 1910-59. Demand for plain looking Federal trucks bottomed out in 1932 while their main competitor Diamond T was doing brisk business selling smart looking trucks, despite the Great Depression. As Federal hovered near bankruptcy, they wisely invested in streamline styling such as this truck, for the coming year. Then offering two cabs throughout the rest of the 1930s, the standard and the deluxe, two separate cabs were used, one with more curves and a higher standard of finish to distinguish it from the standard job. Federal's products included light duty 1/2 ton pickup trucks for general use up to 7 1/2 ton heavy haulers and school buses. Engine; 90hp 318 cu in 20R 'Big Six'
