Literature
The Ford Body Company (originally the Oettinger Buggy Co.) of Greensboro, North Carolina, manufactured custom wooden and steel truck bodies for 1920s Ford Model T and Model TT chassis. Their historic commercial catalogs featured panel delivery wagons, express bodies, and hearses. The original factory buildings on Battleground Avenue were completely repurposed in 2014 and are now occupied by Mac’s Speed Shop. Period literature, original catalogs, and vintage photographs of their work are highly sought-after collector's items and are periodically auctioned by vintage automotive paper dealers. Historical specifications and body details can be researched in automotive archives like Coachbuilt.com.
