Your picture appears to be of a 1930/31 year model International Harvester model A-1 Delivery with a cusom delivery body.....Note the hood side badge, front bumper, hub caps, doors and door handle etc......the spotlight would indicate that it was probably delivered as a Police Wagon originally.....?......Note the distance that the body extends past the frame on the back end......this is typical of a custom bodied delivery truck of the day......

Your pictured truck has a 6 volt nickel/chrome trimmed electric siren or specialty light setting low between the headlamps...?....The International factory horns were mounted under the hood normally on a head bolt bracket.......

Your pictured truck also had the front bumper changed to a later style, probably the result of an accident at sometime........

These pictures below are of 1932 year model International Deliveries and the bottom picture is a year model 1930 International pick up chassis with a custom armored body for comparison.....note different front & back fenders (extended side skirts) and the slightly tapered forward sloping grill shell on the first two '32 year model trucks.......

The deliveries had painted grill shells & headlamps (with chrome bezels) as delivered from the factory, pick ups had chrome grille shells and headlamps.......1930 and 1931 radiator shells were straight verticle with no forward taper, as is your pictured International........

Your delivery truck has a custom delivery body, which was common in those years.....bread trucks, newspaper trucks, bakery trucks, police trucks and milk trucks all had different custom bodies to suit their specific needs.....


Standard chassis 1932 International Panel Delivery model A-1 truck........

International Bread Truck with longer custom body....also longer chassis...

A near new 1930 International year model A-1 p/u at the dealers with early style fenders and heavy duty clincher rims etc.....longer chassis the same as the bread truck above.....

An armored International truck 1930 year model, custom built on a pick up chassis, note chrome grille shell.....this truck appears custom built from the windshield back, suicide doors and all........remember the 15 cent movies when you were a kid...?....How about 25 cent matinee's on Saturday if you were born in the 40's.....?....
