Well done, it is hardly known that the Bedford truck was sold under the Opel label too (without much success though).
I didn't know about that either. But there were no other candidates left. Initially I thought of Rust D, but the closer I looked, the more I realized that it was not an Opel-Darracq... there were just too many small differences. That left me with the GM truck. Opel is related to Vauxhall, after all – why not to Bedford as well? Googling for
Opel Bedford Blitz lkw was a shot in the dark, but it worked out.
A new thread: Rust V – Cushenbery Silhouette II Space Coupe; Water 24 – Silhouette Island, Seychelles; Extension w – Digue Baronette caravan, 1965.
I started on Extension w (I somehow felt this advertising idyll, obviously taken from a brochure of the sixties, easier to get to grips with than anything else still unsolved), and my search among vintage French caravans eventually came up with the name
Digue. Looking for a link, I found
La Digue, an island in the Seychelles, and this led me to Water 24, Silhouette Island, another member of the archipelago. The rest went quickly, a search for cars with
Silhouette in the name brought up Rust V, the Silhouette II Space Coupe, a futuristic, Corvair-engined aluminium streamliner built in the 1960s by Bill Cushenbery, a Californian car customizer.
