1919 Motor Transport Corps convoy?
No. If it helps, this was a one-off created by an individual for his own use.

Was this guy a Salesman?

I've found and article that explain that this truck was built as Traveling Auto, it made a Journey from Boston to Seattle. The only info found it's handwritten, Prest-o-lili Co. as the builder and (something like) Garabed JK Gerogassol? The truck says Lincoln & Pacific Highways

You've found the truck! Unfortunately, the handwritten notes contain none of the pertinent information (builder, donor chassis, and vehicle name).

It's a travelling auto, but that's not it's name.

This information is correct but is unrelated the the vehicle name.

You are mis-reading the name of this company, which is the manufacturer of two non-mechanical components installed in the vehicle, not the builder of the vehicle itself (and not required to solve this puzzle).

I have no idea what this says or how it relates to this vehicle.

Locked for you to identify the builder, donor chassis (manufacturer only), and vehicle name.

Thanks for the lock. I'll keep searching

(Just for the records: The name of the company is Prest-o-lite and the guy's name is Garabed T. K. Giragossian)
