Title: Q The Commercial Break - solved
Post by: Quiller on December 20, 2009, 02:24:48 PM
Here are 12 vehicles all used for commercial purposes. You might be surprised that any commercial operation ever invested in buying any of them - but by investing your skills in telling me what each one is called, you could earn a point for each!

It's not fair to post these pics in other "guess that car" forums...it's been done before, but that's a game, no joy in cheating!  ;)

Post by: white12 on January 14, 2010, 11:50:46 AM
Sorry, I thought I was not cheating. I just tried to end my search for the web and get the car guessed. I do not want to cause trouble or offend anyone. Sorry if someone feels offended. I do not want you to think I'm cheating, so if someone completes the Karmann-Ghia VW microbus point for him, I leave it unlocked. I apologize again, but now for my English.

I'm not sure what this correspondence is about (another forum maybe?) but if so, white12 seems not to have known the score here, so I think he can have the point. (Yes, QTCB1 is a Ghia design)

I'm not sure that it was ever a specific model, but #8 is a GM prototype (from 1972) so I think you can have the point

#12 isn't a Hilux panel van but your guess is the closest so far ...

Only three to get, with some clues:

#4 - this neoclassic has a surprising basis, and country of origin
#6 - find the correct country and this one isn't too hard
#12 - the correct name of this is very often incorrectly plastered over the internet

Post by: Quiller on August 29, 2010, 03:05:31 PM
I didn't lock the topic for Djetset, who I suspect knew the answer, in which case sorry! But pnegyesi got the answer!

The reason why the Toyota Deliboy is so notorious is because there is so much misinformation about it on the internet, particularly after red-top papers picked up on 'world's worst car name' websites. You will find this van described variously as the Nissan Deliboy, Toyota Pantry Boy and - worst of all - the Yamaha Pantry Boy Supreme. Did Yamaha ever make commercial vehicles?

Depends on what you call commercial.
