We Love Sedan Deliveries

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.

The wheels are perfect for this one.....

 

Comparison 39/40 Ford ...

 

Factory Marmon-Harrigton Conversion...(1948)..

 

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

I always like to see your delivery, Happy New Year.

 

1967

 

Design study/model for the first GMH Holden panel van (State Library of South Australia) and a pic of Holden's first panel van production model, the FJ.

 

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

 

Wow! Not something you see every day. 1946 Mercury.

Looks like a set-up to me

 

That's CL***, right there!

 

Just found this, from Libraries Tasmania: 'Campania area, crossing a Ford in the river on the running board of the grocer's car'

 

like it the spoke wheels are ideal for this
