Until the 1920's, Chevrolet manufactured only the chassis of its commercial or service-type vehicles. It was generally up to the dealer or buyer to supply a body. One of the companies that made commercial bodies for Chevrolets was the Martin-Parry Corporation in York, Pennsylvania.

A popular body style was the "Depot Hack" which was created to transport people and their baggage to and from train depots for hotels and resorts. In the event of foul weather, side curtains could be rolled down for some protection. As train depots came to be called train stations, the Depot Hack evolved into the "station wagon".
