Close enough to grant you a single-guess lock. It has something to do with carpets.

Is it for selling carpets at markets, a mobile carpet vending unit

Wendax · June 06, 2018, 03:29:37 AM

No, unlocked and open for all experts again

Carpet cleaning service?

Wendax · June 06, 2018, 04:23:20 AM

Yes, a mobile carpet beating machine.

There were some more around in the 1950s, before everyone had a vacuum cleaner.

Pure wild guess, but only due to shamrock's reply on rolls of carpet! Lets share the point!

What a wonderful weird puzzle
I specially loved the bonus picture of the Dutch tapijtenklopdienst.
Because it has a six numbers telephone number it is probably in one of the 4 big cities of The Netherlands.

The photo shows the first carpet beating machine on wheels in Amsterdam.

Amazed never seen these before

What a clever idea!

By the way, the parked Taunus seems to have a broken rear axle, even Ford wouldn't stoop to swing axles!

Three more pictures of an extra long Tempo Matador and a trailer as carpet beating machines:
