It seems the correct designation is Lindsay Structure, being a method of constructing all-steel vehicle bodies, which could be manufactured by various firms. One is Toronto's Wilson Motor Body / The Wilson Motor Bodies, as featured in the link above. No pictures of CMPs with Lindsay type bodies, but a reference is there: Quote:

And a further search even yielded Mr. Lindsay's patent US 2263510 A!

Hi
Thanks very much for this most interesting I am now a lot more informed on the subject and understand it much better. Ah yes Hanno you right just typing Lyndsay Body into The Google is not very helpful unless you want to look at Lyndsay Lohan all day! The brochures, links and posts are all very interesting, but I guess this all begs the question who was Lyndsay, sorry I had to ask. I might assume he (again I assume this too) took out the patent on this idea and licensed it to various people, amongst others Wilson Motor Bodies of Canada, hence them ending up on CMP's Thanks again Matt |

Hi Again
H B Lyndsay is Harvey B Lyndsay, I tried looking him up on Google, and oh no! more pictures of you know who, whose only attribution to motor bodies seems to be to twist them out of shape. anyway it appears that Havey B worked for Dry Zero Corp. and there is a page on ebay for one of their newsletters (see http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dry-Zero-Cor...-/390733799552 ) if your interested. It appears Dry Zero Corp were into the manufacture of ice cream trucks before WWII. So Harvey's bodies may have originally come from a better way to build insulated structures, before being applied to general body building Matt Last edited by mlombard; 08-09-16 at 22:10.
