The plate stating “Kristiaan’s Autobedrijf” is of the Gebroeders Kristiaan (Kristiaan Brothers). It turns out they were not coachbuilders but one of the companies which sold surplus Canadian Army trucks in the Netherlands, either complete or in parts. Unlike other companies doing the same, e.g. Sindorf, they no longer exist.
