Looks like a 1945 C15A, David... also looks like a painted out name and address on the door - I wonder whether given the date of manufacture this might be a post-war rig. I've seen similar things for carrying longer items like poles or boats. The spring hanger on the trailer (as well as the hub) look CMP too. Possibly it's been made from a spare chassis. Interesting.
