It looks like a (Steyr-)Puch Haflinger, even though the front wheels seem to be a bit too much to the back...

I would say it is an early Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer.

Not a Farmobil?(the Pinzgauer had a shorter nose,but if shape was similar,but don't matches front axle position--wheels should be under front doors)

That is a very good idea. I think, you are right:

Now the question is, what is the make?

The Farmobil was developed by Fahr. Some sources say, they actually built about 1.000 vehicles from 1955 on in Germany, but it seems to be a bit more complicated.

In the second half of the 1950s Fahr acquired Farco SA in Thessaloniki, Greece, were according to some sources the Farmobile was produced from 1961 to 1966.

In 1963 Farco was taken over by Chrysler and renamed to Chrysler Hellas S.A. They kept the production of the Farmobil up until 1966/67.

This now leaves us to decide if it is a Fahr Farmobil, a Chrysler Farmobil or just a Farmobil. :think:
