Yes in the rural areas a larger percentage of the people where in the class I mentioned before
"Now some families used the pickup as transportation when it was off duty, but even more pulled trailers with cars."
My parents lived out past the end of street cars, but worked in the city, and worked a F-5 flatbed with hoist part time. When little brother and I got to big to ride with him on mother's lap, and me standing in the seat between they bought a car.
At the time, truck owners would hang around lumber yards like day labor does now. And a lot of the "trucks" where big cars cut down and beds built on. On the farm, where I did most of my growing, grandparents had a car as early as I can remember, but that was Grandma's car. She never drove it, but the only time it came out of the garage was if she wanted to go to town, and the roads where dry.
