That would be a Delcar delivery mini-van, c.1948, by American Motors Incorporated (no relation to the American Motors most people know).

BTW, I understand the company also made a station wagon. Anyone have a picture of that?

Incidentally, I had thought about posting this very vehicle just days before you actually did. But I thought it might be too easy. (Of course, if you didn't think it was, then it probably wasn't!)
