"Ford Cook Wagon," June 1915
Add to SetSummary
Even before America's involvement in World War I, the Red Cross used Ford Motor Company vehicles in its wartime efforts. Cook wagons like this one, built on a Model T chassis, moved quickly toward the front lines to provide hot food and drink. Each wagon could prepare stew for several hundred people or make 60 gallons of coffee.
