Hmm, that’s a tough nut to crack…
Here’s a list of all Dutch car brands: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijs...dse_automerken

Oh Goodie, goodie....a challenge
I don't have any idea on the car brand....but it does indeed show a Dutch "provincie kenteken"......from 1906-1950 Netherlands had licence plates based on region. "H" was Zuid-Holland. "57026" would indicate that the plate was released in 1927. The National Archives hold lists with these licence plates, but you will have to make an appointment to have a look in the actual archive. https://www.nationaalarchief.nl/onde...vnr/%407-35~11

Pretty sure not Hupmobile. There are many similar scripts.
This is causing a great deal of interest and many guesses on the Historic Commercial Vehicle site. Surely SOMEONE can hit the jackpot as it is almost readable? Last edited by Lang; 23-01-22 at 01:19. |

Lang,
Was this mystery ever solved? I had another go last night, but the only thing I got was a lack of sleep.....

I posted Lang’s photos on a forum and www.conam.info replied it could be a Republic 1-1/2 ton truck from approx. 1927/1928.
The provincial licence number was issued on 23 March 1927 to Wilhelmus Cornelis van den IJssel from the town Berkel en Rodenrijs. But the emblem doesn’t seem to match: http://www.americanautoemblems.com/2...lic-truck.html

Studebaker
I am sure the truck is a Studebaker. I couldn’t find a clear picture of a Studebaker truck, but I did find a Studebaker car. If you compare the detail around the hole for the starting handle they look identical. The picture is from
