Just picked mine up!

 

'35 or '36 Ford?

 

35

 

Looks good, but would look "gooder" with a full size pikky

 

'Bakery van in Lintern Street, Red Hill, Brisbane, ca. 1953' - Ford Prefect panel van, either pre-War or early post-War. (State Library of Queensland)

 

Much earlier than 53. JW

 

I think the panel van posted above is pre-War or early post-War due to the rear mudguard. It's very 'thin' all the way around from front to back. The 1937/38 Ford 7W commercials had similar thin rear mudguards, as did the Model C and CX before the 7W. At some point after the war Ford changed the rear mudguards so that they close over more, closer to the tyre, with a flat profile. See these two vans.

Comparison 39/40 Ford ...

From where they drive on the wrong side and steer the same way.

Thank God they decided not to go with the model...
