Solved: Allemano's № 903 - 1934 Gaubschat bodied truck for Landrock laundries

An impressive truck.

I don't know ecactly the chassis, but the coachbuilder.

One point for you if you know it, too.

Another Verheul-bodied Floating Pullman ? We already had the Beers-Verheul from 1933 http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=18236.msg181099#msg181099

Some observations, but no answer.

It is a RHD tractor so that gives us a fairly limited range of countries.

My best guess so far is that it is a bus delivering passengers to a cruise ship or some such.
Note the "waves" motif on the tractor and trailer.  As well, having been on a few cruises, the venue could be the covered hall where you get off the bus, your baggage gets collected and you eventually get on the ship.

Of course, I often come up with very crazy ideas but at least some of the observations may be of some help.

No Bill, the waves indicate something different... The picture was taken on a truck fair. And it's not a bus for passengers.

It's not from Belgium either.

BTW: I can only reply to what I know about the coachwork company. For the chassis I've got no info. It might be from one of the countries you've asked for, but I doubt.

You have ruled out Australia, but how about New Zealand?

Thank you for your kind and gentle correcting of my wrong course of investigation.

It would now seem that we are looking for some sort of advertising vehicle and the "waves" are hopefully the corporate sign or logo of whatever company the vehicle was built for.

The RHD is a key ID characteristic now and we have eliminated the UK, Aus and NZ as well as Argentina.
We now have to decide if the vehicle was built before the roughly 1939 period or after WWII as the pool of RHD countries in Europe, or countries that kept a mix of LHD and RHD vehicles changed quite a bit after the war.  I am assuming here that it did not come from Japan or India.

I have just gotten back to my PC and I will pursue some of those questions but in the meantime it may be a thought starter for another member.

OK, after carefully looking at the photo again, I am going to say it is pre WWII based on the clearance markers on the front of the truck, the size and style of the headlamps and the style/design of the front bumper.
That would add 4-5 more countries to the list of possibilities.
