I wonder what kind of live stock was hauled in this truck....

Then, as now, some cars just looked great sitting in the driveway!!!

This is South Bend, but I think the only Studebaker visible is the 2R pickup.

The second-nearest truck to the cameraman (with the tarp-covered load) appears to be a Mack AC, made between 1916 and 1938. That would be chain-drive, and looks to still be sporting SOLID tires!
Another ancient, odd-looking truck appears further back, just crossing the intersection.

That's because all the Studebaker owners were at work at the factory, the night watchman was in his pickup on his way to work

Thanks for pointing out the Mack AC. I never would have known what is was without your comment.

This Studebaker electric was on of two such vehicles used to shuttle members of Congress from their office buildings to the Capital when the tunnel between them first opened in 1909. Today there is a subway type system that does this. This comes from Hemmings.com
