Base car is obvious.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its coachbuilder.

Almost. It is a Ford Taunus (easy to see) from around 1950 and it is a Miesen body, but it is not a Lieferwagen (van) nor a Fahrgestell (chassis), but a specified body on the Taunus van chassis. Which purpose had the body?

Locked for you.

Actually I found that picture some times ago, when I solved a similar puzzle about a kombi by Plasswilm; in that occasion I copied the photo in my archive but in my caption I described it just as a Taunus by Miesen.
Now, I've searched to find it back without result.  Depending on the fact the car is white, and Miesen often built ambulances, my guess is Krankenwagen.
