Q-Ball ◊ 2023-10-25 14:55	Grille and general shape indicates American-built Ford Vanette, although one user has claimed that the more accurate name would be Ford P-500 Parcel Delivery. Curbside Classic has an article that includes the models history and an original brochure. Link to "www.curbsideclassic.com" -- Last edit: 2023-10-25 14:57:47

Bedford or Commer based possibly similar to Hawson easy access body? Ford P-500 Parcel Delivery van is similar but too many details are wrong for a complete match. -- Last edit: 2024-02-29 13:17:29

Sunbar ◊ 2024-03-01 11:36	^ Which would bring us back to the Ford Vanette P-500 ? /vehicle_420184-Ford-Vanette-1955.html /vehicle_134307-Ford-Vanette-P-500-1956.html
