I am new on the Forum and ordinarily I don't like to just "guess" but this is a rare one and I have already
4 hours invested in searching about it. So, an "educated guess" if I may.

Where I have come to is: An FN truck, unknown model, with body by Maes Louis. The year is also a guess but I
would say 1936-1937 judging by the styling.

SACO · September 14, 2012, 06:59:40 AM

Good "educated guess", it'a a FN !

But I have not Maes Louis ! $:-\$
Locked for you !

Bill Murray · September 14, 2012, 12:16:41 PM

Hallo Saco:

I have now exhausted all of my book and online sources trying to find the coachbuilder.

Of the 35 or so companies I looked at, I could guess at perhaps three and probably stumble on the correct
answer but that is not how I like to play the game.

So, please, unlock the quiz so someone else can take what I have come up with so far and perhaps solve
the coachbuilder part of the question. I like this to be fun and not too serious even if I put hours of research
on some of the questions. I will keep looking, but not at such a pace for today.

SACO · September 14, 2012, 01:54:18 PM

Hello Bill !
I agree with you, it is just a game !

Unlocked !

W.A.G.: 1954, Gaston Grummer

(The door handle is the same as on the recently finished "Delage Aeroprofils" puzzle.)

SACO · September 15, 2012, 01:40:06 AM

FN chassis camion 8 1937.
Coachwork by Pritchard-Demolin?

SACO · September 21, 2012, 07:17:24 AM

Not Pritchard-Demolin !

Bill Murray · September 21, 2012, 07:28:32 AM

Can we agree on Camion 8 as the chassis and 1937 as the year??

SACO · September 21, 2012, 08:06:00 AM

I don't know the type of FN and the year is before 1954 !

João · September 21, 2012, 08:11:04 AM

Coachwork by Jonckheere.

Wendax · September 21, 2012, 08:31:47 AM

The truck was called "Pata-Mingi".

SACO · September 21, 2012, 04:00:19 PM

And thanks for "Pata-Mingi"

1 point for Joäo !

Bill Murray · September 21, 2012, 05:04:46 PM

Congratulations to Joao and thanks to Wendex for another interesting addition to my oddball file.

As I spent maybe 6 hours on this photo, is it permitted SAC to ask you to post your original source
for this photo??

After the puzzle was solved, I used the not allowed Google photo search possibility and only found
the same photo with no details.
