Sorry, I'm a sucker for all panel trucks. Nothing wrong with a Ford..........and the photo meets all the criteria of the thread. Interesting how visible the plate is. Nice truck. Lettering was well done. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Brunn spent some time working in France at Henri Binder to broaden this coachbuilding training and experience before returning to join Brunn as their designer. His deft handling of the sweep panel design was one of the benefits of that training. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

His deft handling of the sweep panel design was one of the benefits of that training. I believe the correct nomenclature is “sweep spear” and written by Brunn in an article in the 70’s. I don’t remember where it appeared. Anyone know the article? Link to post Share on other sites
58L-Y8 1,873 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Ed: Sounds familiar, though I don't recall the name of the article either. I do recall Hugo Pfau writings referring to the C-shaped low relief panel as the "LeBaron Sweep Panel". Elegant design success has many fathers willing to take credit... Whatever the term, it certainly enlivens a design. Edited January 11 by 58L-Y8 (see edit history) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LCK81403 174 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 This photo of a Willys-Overland was posted earlier. It appears to be a taxi model, suggested by the equipment on the roof. The object at center-front on the roof appears to be what a TAXI sign should look like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
