The company first filed as a business in New York in 1925. It was dissolved in 1985. On the side of the truck it says since 1934.

Looks like 1834 to me.

Deuce you are right. 1834.

As fashionable as Town Car Deliveries (& Town Cars) were, they were beyond their time after the October 1929 stock market crash. With increasing numbers of the population out of work (soup lines), it wasn't 'polite' to be see in a chauffeur driven vehicle.

From a 1936 newspaper used car ad, '1931 Ford Town Car Delivery $60.'
