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 for the coming year. Federal enjoyed a long and a continuing association with the U.S. Army for the supply of military and type vehicles during the Second World War. They received Army-Navy Production Awards for Excellence. During 1944-45 Federal was allowed to make ten models for essential civilian use while continuing war production. Federal truck styling remained unchanged for ten years. this four yard dump truck is nearly identical to Pre-War models.
