Use your first two fingers vertical over the brown one to block out the fins, using one eye. The sides and the roof and the tailgate/hatch look like a mid-50’s American wagon.

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.
You are CORRECT! 1960 Lloyd. Came in van, van with windows, and flatbed. 2 cylinder, 19hp.

Founded in 1908, and owned by Norddeutsche Lloyd Shipping Lines, Lloyd became the brand name of Norddeutsche Automobile und Motoren GmbH of Bremen Germany. By 1950, after decades of successful and prolific production, the Lloyd Motoren Werke began mass-production of several notable models. Competing head-on with Volkswagen and Opel a Lloyd was a viable, inexpensive, small car. Unfortunately, Lloyd never gained a foothold in the market and by 1963 the company was bankrupt.”

You’d have to make parts to restore it.

It has SO much “decoration” for such a not-big car, and that duck bill ain’t helping. Sad how Packard slipped away.

I like this one from that forum. And The “stubby Lark” is kind of cool.

When I first looked at the picture above, it immediately reminded me of a Standard Vanguard Phase 3 wagon from the early 1960's. It had 4 doors though.
