There were lots of Dutch coachbuilders (Werkspoor, Van Steenis, Geesink, Kronenburg, Van de Schee, Ten Cate, to name just a few...) that used Ford chassis (Fords were made in Amsterdam from the early thirties till 1981). Btw. the houses in this pic seem to be fake: the hoistbeams are typical Amsterdam, but the buildings are too low and the street is too wide...
