As the film is 1956, it seems unlikely that a Popular 103E, introduced 1953, would be the donor car. It’s also acquired some big eyes from somewhere. -- Last edit: 2020-07-10 23:35:23

Some vans, perhaps as a result of rear accident damage or changing needs of their owners, find themselves cut down into pickups or other variations of body styling." from here.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-07-11 16:04	Ford made a very few Popular pickups by grafting the E83W rear end, somewhat modified, onto the 103E front, but did not appear to have productionised the design. Dave Turner - Ford Popular and the Small Sidevalves - Osprey 1984 Page 71 The other possibility is that it started life as a Martin Walter Utilecon, and got a kick up the exhaust pipe. (Yes they did one on the 5cwt van as well.) -- Last edit: 2020-07-11 16:40:15
