It looks like a late 1950's GM worldwide product. It has similarities to an Opel Record 2 door wagon, but I don't recognize the grille.

'52-'67 Prince Skyway was based on the Skyline sedans, made in several versions including what we would call a Sedan Delivery, before the merger with Nissan.

This version must be rare, it's the only picture I could find. Way cool, and way ahead of its time.

Berkeley Sport - guess what I just saw on a bike ride along the river trail! A mish-mash of old cars and the red one I couldn’t figure out. A friend said he knows that guy (hoarder?) and it’s a Berkeley Sport!

Here’s the context …..
MG TD in a bit better condition?
A Peugeot delivery truck or something?
Two different yellow Sprites screwed together?

That car with the rubber bumper behind the truck is a 1980's MGB Convertible and an early Austin Sprite possibly.

The truck I have no idea on. Never seen a Peugeot looking like that. Almost looks Japanese. Whatever it is that art deco look is fabulous!

The Berkley could be one of a few versions, but the critical part is the front end as they revised it a few times in the late 50's and early 60's, including going from 3 to 4 wheels!

Great pictures and find! Thanks for sharing.

I’m told he is an artist and art conservator, specializing in historic paintings and the like. In his 80’s I think.

The bright yellow Sprite is a later square body Spridget with a bug eye bonnet on the front.

That weird truck I’ve got to figure out!

The Lane museum in Nashville has an early '60s Lloyd van from W. Germany, the one you saw may be the Hacksaw variant.
