You are on the right route with this one, although I don't believe it was a self-build. Locked to you for 24 hours to tell me what this car was called.

did it have a ford base?

did it have a ford base?

It seems it used parts from a number of vehicles, but it was mostly Ford (Model A) based.

[kwgibbs]

the closet so far is called mail buggy,but I,ll keep searching.

[Djetset]

It does have a specific name...

[kwgibbs]

did the builder build other vehicles ?

did the builder build other vehicles ?

Being totally honest, I've no idea. Sorry!

[kwgibbs]

I did find what,s called the Stiltmobile designed for  rural mail carrier,s,is this the one?

Ha, you are slowly moving to the final answer (just like a postal delivery vehicle) as the unusual large wheels on this cat were known as Stiltmobile wheels, but frustratingly (for you) this is not the name of this machine, so still locked to you for another 24 hours...

was this vehicle built by a well known co.,that manufacturers postal mail delivery vehicles?

[Djetset]

was this vehicle built by a well known co.,that manufacturers postal mail delivery vehicles?

I don't think the manufacturer was very well known, but it did produce this car (with its HiStilt wheels) specifically for main deliveries...

As a clue, the car's name reflects its 'HiStilt' off-road capabilities in extreme and cold weather conditions 

[kwgibbs]

this one is a tough nut to crack,I can find similar cars but not this one.,is the car,s name a single word or multiple names?

Sorry to put you through so much grief!  The car's name in a single word.

[kwgibbs]

by chance was this car built somewhere in the Dakota,s?

by chance was this car built somewhere in the Dakota,s?

I'm afraid not.  As a clue think of the cold conditions this vehicle was designed to cope with when delivering the mail...

Im about to give a crazy try, what about Thermobile?

[Djetset]

Your getting much closer, and the name does end in ...mobile! Keep on trying.

[kwgibbs]

sorry for my very late reply had to be away all day,would the word before mobile be a weather term ,such as frost or similar?

[Djetset]

Getter closer with 'frost' though the name is not directly related the weather, so ?mobile ?

[kwgibbs]

is it a short word like perma?, as you can see Im grabbing at straws now.

[Djetset]

No, the name is more inspired by the sort of peoe that live in very cold conditions.

[kwgibbs]

is it eskimobile?
