Opel Blitz by Vidal & Sohn HH?

[Wendax]

Welcome to AutoPuzzles, 58_spyder!

It is an Opel Blitz, and the coachbuilder is almost correct, but it is not Vidal & Sohn which was the company that built the Tempo vans. You are very close though. Locked for you to find the right coachbuilder.

I was quite sure that Vidal had made this one, I read that Carrosserie Reichert (Berlin) build a convertible for The Netherlands, but I do not believe it was a "regular" vehicle.
Miesen build various Ambulances and Fire trucks, and based on the volume of the Convertibles made they would be my next guess.

[Wendax]

You are right with Vidal, but it is not Vidal & Sohn. The company doing this bodywork was xxxxxxx Vidal & Co.
Give me the missing first name of Mr. Vidal and the point is yours. Still locked.

[Wendax]

No answer for a week, so it will be unlocked and moved to experts now. Only a little piece of information is missing.
