Very interesting station wagon version with a totally different rear door compared to the french version (and all others that I know)!!! It's a model year 1957/1958: standard front indicators, but still the lion on the bonnet. Was it specially made for the finnish market? |

Could be a delivery van version, yes. They were, and are, lighter taxed. |

Had read something in a old issue of Seventies'of Italian motor magazine about "pakettiauto" phenomenon in Finland: that magazine say that:..."pakettiauto"were virtually basic wagon model of a car range converted in vans;was enough simply removed back seat and fit a goods'dividing net or a wall with window for make register a ex-wagon like a"pakettiauto";in Finland the phenomenon was sunk'cause many drivers bought those cars registering those as"pakettiauto"to get circulation tax reduced easily,but then they would use the same car as a wagon for weekend's leisure simply refit back seat and dismantle temporarily dividing net ;by then,Finland's MoT claims that could be ascribed as"pakettiauto"vehicle category only the ones that don't have side or back windows(like any normal panel van derived by a wagon)" (source:"Quattroruote"magazine,1973 July issue) PS The phenomenon exist also into next Norway,where vehicles of that kind are named"varebil"(=goods vehicle) PS2 In Finland could be"pakettiauto"only the wagons or that phenomenon was extended also at saloon cars with traditional trunk and hatchback saloons,BeanBandit? -- Last edit: 2007-05-06 16:59:51 |

No, sedans and hatches did not have enough last space to get thru the loophole. |

But in the case of wagons with 5-doors,on a"pakettiauto"came exploited also side rear doors for loading/unloading operations,or those were eventually welded and vehicle was loaded only thru the rear hatch???... |
