Fry's has its own little place in motorsport history, with brothers Joe, Jeremy and David's involvement in the Iota, Freikaiserwagen and Parsenn cars. I'm pretty sure one of the post-War hillclimbs was at the family home.

Not 100% sure its a Model T, the rear drums look too large & most T's had the old style carriage lamps up on the scutle.

ETA: didnt T's have a convex dished steering wheel, whilst the Frys van seems to have a concave?

I am thinking maybe the second generation of Model T ? (1923T) if you look at it as a car ignoring the van section it does look like the Ford (Model T ?) Laurel and Hardy used.
