Topic: F#8 - Re-Solved - 1954-1955 PLM

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.

It's nitpicking really, but the name was according to Historie de l'Automobile Belge a Poelemans and Merksen was supposedly a town near Antwerp, one would asume it was a typo, as the town is Merksem

That kind of nitpicking is enthusiastically approved at Autopuzzles'.

Actually it is what make this place better than others, not just answers, but correct and when possible complete answers!

Histoire de l'Automobile Belge shows a picture where you can see something that seems to prove the point I made earlier;

I believe that Poelemans of 107 Bredalaan in Merksem, near Antwerp, bought the left stock from the Keller Motors Continental of Brussels.
The Louis Maes Aine (firstborn) coach builders made a woody out of these. These are what the book calls "Pullman station cars" (though I feel this is a misunderstanding again, Pullman and Poelemans have a very similar sound to them)

The picture shows that the woodies are made out from what seems to be a chassis, window frame and a bonnet.
