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

Default 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

The radiator script is from

Paul, I think you are right......a Studebaker. Quite funny.....Two weeks ago my aunt asked me to identify a car in a family picture.....we found it to be a 1922/23 Studebaker...........and then I had another look at this thread to see if I could identify the one in Lang's picture.......it's beyond me that I didn't look into Studebaker for this one as well!!!

Hanno, excellent to see the exact name and date linked to the licence plate! There is a transport firm called "Van den IJssel" in Berkel en Rodenrijs still in business today.....has to be one and the same, right?
