greg g Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 Saw one of these in a scrap yard in an old mining town in Arizona. Unique vehicle purpose built for urban delivery. Power unit separates from Unibody shell for service and maintenance. Seated or standing driving positions. Draw back is top speed was <40 mph. In an auto museum near us I'd a similar vehicle powered by a Franklin drive train in the rear very similar to the Tucker car. Six or eight bolts out and the complete unit dropped out for service. Thei literature suggested purchasing one or two spare power units so that you wouldn't need to have trucks out of service for maintenance and repair. When work was necessary, you would drop the power unit, sub in one of the spares while work was done to the drive line independent from the vehicle. https://www.txclsx.com/index.php/product/1948-marmon-herrington-delivr-all/ 1 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) while a foreign make, this pic was sent to me...Morris chassis and cab and special build body as one off as I understand it in NZ....very bold look and very utilitarian...these cars in wagon/van concept from factory never had a one piece roof as shown...just a different car from a different time and a different country...but so much a likable beast. the D24 wagon that never was...................
