A street scene with an interesting truck.

For one point, please respond and identify this truck as well as the coachbuilder.

Another Bergmann?

Considering the Woolworth and the styling, it must be (West)German. Am I right?

Didn't the Fiat 500 make you think of Italy?

No, you are right. It is West German.

Electric?

(I am surprised you didn't think my Woolworth link is strange, considering that I believe it's gone from the streets for some years now)

Wendax · « **Reply #7 on:** August 23, 2011, 04:54:36 AM »

In Germany, Woolworth is still active (after some trouble and several changes in ownership).

Yes, the truck´is an electric one.

It's a Lloyd!

You found it!

Now I just need the coachbuilder to give you the point. Locked for you.

NWF (Nordwestdeutsche Fahrzeugbau GmbH), Wilhelmshaven.

The point is yours!

Does that registration mean it's a Bundespost van?

The sole reason Lloyd was making electric trucks was that the Bundespost was ordering them. I understand 3 manufacturers made electric trucks for the Bundespost up to about 1958, when the Bundespost simply stopped ordering them.

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** August 23, 2011, 06:23:49 AM »

Yes, Bergmann, Lloyd and Gaubschat.

Yes, ~~Bergmann~~, Lloyd and Gaubschat.

My mistake. The Bundespost used a lot of old Bergmann electro trucks after WWII, but Bergmann didn't supply any more, because they were located in East Berlin.

DeAutogids · « **Reply #18 on:** August 23, 2011, 06:38:12 AM »

I think some new ones were made in Werdau in East Germany as well.

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2011, 06:57:19 AM »

But for the East German "Deutsche Post" and not for the West German "Deutsche Bundespost".

DeAutogids · « **Reply #20 on:** August 23, 2011, 07:28:59 AM »

Sure!
