Oh Well........

Just to fill in some blanks.

Steyr 740, built in 350 examples 1937-1939.  This one looks like a fairly early one.
Here is an ambulance version of a later year I believe.

I'm not particular interested in trucks but I must say that these Steyrs are nicely styled cars

Yes, quite handsome vehicles and with a quite good reputation in the day.
BTW, there was a typo in my response that I have fixed.  350 740's were made.
