Looks like a tired face.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

We've already had a Dalat but it was quite different : https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2016-45/solved-wendax-1824-dalat/

So, to merge or not to merge ?

I know that I posted another Dalat before, but I think they are different enough to stay as two puzzles.

As there were a number of quite different Dalat body styles and models, personally I would say don't merge them, but I appreciate that this is not my call... :)

I strongly agree.

Here are some of the descriptors Citroen used to distinguish the various La Dalat body styles:

Pick-up (this puzzle)
2 doors + rear gate, folding rear bench seat, fully removable canvas top, no side windows

Limousine (your previous puzzle)
4 doors + rear gate, folding rear bench seat, enclosed body with solid metal roof, sliding windows on all 4 doors and rear panels

Break 3 Portes
2 doors + rear gate, folding rear bench seat, enclosed body with removable roof panel, sliding windows on front doors, fixed rear side windows

Break Commercial
2 doors + rear gate, folding rear bench seat optional, enclosed body with solid metal roof, sliding windows on front doors, solid metal rear panels

For clarity, I've added the desciptors to each of the thread titles.
