I obtained eight separate photographs of this room, each taken from a different angle. Upon initial review of the photos, the puzzle vehicle seemed to be placed within the Moto Guzzi display area. Knowing it could not be a Moto Guzzi product, I analyzed the photos further, even mapping out the location of each of the manufacturer's display areas as well as each of the individual vehicles within those display areas. After all of that, I did what I should have done at the beginning--turned my attention away from the location of the vehicles in relation to the signs on the walls and, instead, focused on the (clearly visible) placards leaning against the vehicles' wheels.

As you can see, the puzzle vehicle is one of four Sidus 3-wheelers on display (one of them is hiding a bit), as indicated not only by the sign on the wall, but also by the placard leaning against its front wheel.

As for the suggestion that it is an FB, not only does FB's motofurgone look very different, the FB display area was located further down along that same wall (about 4 manufacturers away).

the two pictures and the F.B. Motofurgone are very different: maybe not the same year

As stated earlier in the thread, the F.B Motofurgone image (Reply #12) is from 1936. All other Fair images are from 1937 (though taken on different days).

I don't know anything about the black little truck, only the year and the location of the picture: one point for the right name (with proofs)

I am not sure what more is required to solve this puzzle, so let's give it another try:

from the photos I think you have arrived at the solution and I have no proof to prove that you are wrong. In fact, even I didn't know the solution - as I said at the beginning.
two points for you
