I can identify the base vehicle, but can't find any reference.

Funky and neat, whatever it is.

Jose, that is an interesting subject but  carsntrucks4you   (Mike) is the only one who is supposed to be posting the quizzes. You are new here so you likely had no idea.

The sticky post on this forum has the rules (but this is not spelled out in the first post).

I read the rules, but I did not see clearly spelled that I should contact carsntrucks4you BEFORE posting, or that I was not supposed to post by myself at all. I sent him a proposed clarification (see underlined proposed changes below) but got no answer, so I guess I will just stay away.

1. No answers allowed in the ongoing Auto quiz thread
2. No comments  in the ongoing Auto quiz thread that give any clues or suggestions to the car in question
3. A PM must be sent to the one who has started the ongoing thread before posting new quizzes
4. The PM must contain Year of production, Manufacturer and Type
5. In case of violating the rules  the quiz will be closed immediately and no winners will be announced
6. Only carsntrucks4you is allowed to post new pictures in this thread

FWIW this truck was extensively used by a company called "TAXI-FLET", a service pretty much like a taxi service (with meter and all) used to carry small loads. While the company is still in business I could not find a picture of this particular model in company colors.

I have to stop this unhealthy discussion. 

I have to break a lance for Jose (Big Messer). After the death of Harry P. we were looking for someone who takes over the old Autoquiz. Otherunicorn jumped in and later I as in charge. I had added some new ideas  like truck quiz, taillight quiz or one off. Some works well some not. 

Jose is new  in this section and he had an idea for a quiz. The truck is an interesting subject and not that easy to find. He had started the quiz without knowing that I usual do the quiz. How should he know this? There is no information who should do the quiz, there are  only rules. I don't want to be the one and only who does the quiz. I can remember that other members did the quiz since I took over the quiz section from otherunicorn. Some ask if they could do the next quiz or sent interesting cars to me as a quiz idea.

In the first moment I was surprised that somebody had started a new quiz,  but then I said ok I don't have to start a new one.   I had sent him the answer for this quiz and we chat about how we usually do the quiz. I gave him some advises like adding a number in the header and  that he should attach the rules to a new quiz.

For me it is ok that Jose had started the quiz. And Ihope that my answer is correct

Easy enough to find with Googli's reverse-image-search (now Google Lens), which I'm sure nobody ever uses 'cause that would be cheating. 

I had absolutely no clue as to what this one was. I'll pass.
