From the time when vans weren't just white and fast.

For one point, please respond and identify this little truck.

No, some years off. Locked for one more guess.

Well, Auto-Lux built almost a hundred exemplares of little trucks between 1940 and 1948 when the firm closed; I found that the styling of this truck looks like another one recently posted in another quiz that has been solved by you, dated 1942. Perhaps this should be one of the last version, from 1947.

1947 is the correct year. One more point for you.
