Looks pretty much like one of the 2 Lansing-Bagnall Prototype from 1955, any connection?

I haven't heard of any connection between them. A little hint: the car in a puzzle is a bit older than 1955.

You sure? Every Keller I've seen had wipers mounted to the cowl.  :scratch:

The source I took it from had it as 1948-1950 Keller, and somehow I tended to believe...

I have found the source (I thinks so) the puzzle picture was taken from. It has it as Keller. I have tried to compare the pictures of Keller I have but it looks somehow different  :-\

Hello! I would like to reidentify this puzzle car. It seems that is a Keller made in Belgium by Poelmans Merksen, Antwerpen under the brand name PLM.

The Keller in the last pic has got a Dutch license plate for a commercial vehicle, dating from 1955 (though back then we were in a transition between two license plate systems, so the car could be a bit older).

I knew I saw it somewhere!
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=4258.0

Thanks to Arunas, Dynamike and Paul Jaray, one of my mystery car gets identified!
Paul had already mentioned it in this topic:
" Keller: (...) In 1949 only 18 cars were built, but the wagon was built also in Anversa, Belgium, in 1954-55 under the name PLM."

Yes, I should. I've been away for some reason.
Thanks for solving the mystery.
