1923 Ford Model TT, UPS Delivery Truck, restored in 1995
In 1907, Seattle teens Jim Casey and Claude Ryan started a messenger service with $100 and a bike. Merging with a competitor, they switched to trucks and - in 1919 - expanded beyond Seattle to Oakland, becoming the United Parcel Service (UPS). Those first trucks are long gone, but this vintage Ford Model T restored by expert Ron Ferguson shows us what UPS trucks looked like in 1923.
