1930-1939

The 30's was an interesting decade for Federal.

1930-1939 was the third decade of Federal's existence. Of course, the Stock Market Crash of 1929 led to The Great Depression in the early 1930's. In this time, Federal's sales dwindled to around 1,500 a year, which was comparatively good compared to many other companies of the time, many of which didn't make it. In 1934, the old army trucks fron 1918 were becoming worn, so the U.S. Army ordered a few hundred more, which boosted Federal and several other struggling truck companies, and 1934 marked the relative end of the Great Depression. In the late 30's, Federal got into a little motorhome craze, but only long enough to get out of it. Its RV would've been called the 'Motohome', but only a few were built. Federal introduced a trailer similarly later on. In the process, a 'four-wheel drive' craze happened. Over 400 Q9 models(a four-wheel drive truck) were ordered. Note: Obviously there are way more models, these are just the known and identified ones.
