It looks like a Walker Electric. Similar to the one pictured here.

This is another of those great photos that I almost feel I could just walk into. Thanks to the size, clarity, and detail.

Would the large box between the wheels of the bread truck be a battery box? I think electric cars and trucks still being made in 1925.

I love that "Rice's Bread" truck! I've never seen a truck in that style before and for lack of a better way to describe it, it looks really neat!
What are the things on wheels there in front of the shop, between the two pumps, with the Texaco star on them? Can't make them out very well on my small screen.

"Standard"

Standard Oil of New Jersey used those quote marks to distinguish itself from other Standard Oils of the day before hitting on the idea of "Esso" (S.O.) as a brand.

Is that title a reference to Planet of Sound by the Pixies?
