The chassis and the drivetrain of this red helper should be obvious.
Name these parts anyway and add the body manufacturer and the year of manufacture.

Yes, it is a Opel Blitz 1,9 t from 1962, but not built by Weller. Locked for five attempts to find the correct coachbuilder.

Wow, there are a lot of these and they all look pretty much alike.  Focusing on door handles, roof racks, and wooden roll-up doors.  Are we looking for a German fire engine builder?
