Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Or better: Is it a truck? Is it a train?

For one point, please respond and identify chassis manufacturer and coachbuilder.

The bodywork is German, the chassis isn't.

Is it a scale model or is it a real, full-size vehicle ?

Any connection to the "40 & 8" veteran's group? I know they used a lot of automobile-based vehicles styled to look like train locomotives.

Sorry, my previous answer was wrong. This vehicle was built for a toy dealer.
