They're calling it the Deora F1

Please re-read the puzzle question.

This vehicle can be found on multiple sites, at least two of which are familiar to many AutoPuzzles members.

I've not seen it before, but by the door I think it WAS a Toyota minivan.

Robin McQueen.
A Dodge A-108 camper van was hacked to pieces and spliced with '60 Ford wagon and '61 Mercury Montclair sheetmetal along with plenty of customs bits.
Not sure about....

I think both builders were going for the same look. The puzzle vehicle is not Dodge, Ford, or Mercury based.

Yep...this guy is still working on his replica...the puzzle car is based on a Toyota, as Hugo90 suggested, right?

Hugo has a good eye.

I guess that you mean this, but the trail is cold:
... Someone did build a knockoff of Deora from a Toyota van. He took it to the Blessing last summer and someone posted pictures on the HAMB. He has a shop in Sun Valley near Skreetch....

I some parts of Europe the donor car was called Toyota Model F, in USA and UK it was called Toyota Van.

Hi, SeaLion - good to see you here again!

Hugo99 ID'd the "what was it" part of the puzzle, earlier.

It's based on a 1987 Toyota Van. It is owned by Rich Kimmell of Independent Brake Lathe Service in the Los Angeles area, and used everyday as a work truck.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #22 on:** June 14, 2009, 11:38:25 AM »

Woo-hoo!

Nice solve, Ray!

Ray B. · « **Reply #23 on:** June 14, 2009, 11:49:20 AM »

Well, I just thought I' could follow Tuckeroo's lead of 6 months ago: Deora F1.
I found the pics, as he said, with no captions at all... but with those decals on the car, with... words, Google usual food.
