So you just ignore DidierF's comments?

his 1975 comes from this

http://www.roundhouse.ch/Auto/Postauto_Saurer-Alpenwagen.htm

but it doesn't prove or say that it was the year the model was introduced

strangely this toy is the only real reference to the vehicle :halalala:

, there is no article on the actual vehicle

Really, mike962, take pills to calm down your impatience. The 3 contributors talking on this page are all admins and you think that leaving this vehicle as unknown was just a missed identification? "Yours" is not even a guess but, as usual, just due to your "unknown phobia" (or is it an hysteria?). I asked a question, and if you can't bear waiting for the answer, then just don't look at this page until some days. Or months.
Thanks in advance.

I do not really see what you would hope by keeping it as unknown, for what is visible it will most likely stay unknown so the best solution is picking the most probably name (but I know you don't like that solution).
We have thousands of "unknown", to me it is better to clear a little that list by "removing" from it the unidentifiable ones that could be listed under different model names.

I don't want to keep it as unknown, I just hoped that someone who watched the movie can say if the directors tried to search for a bit of accuracy concerning the vehicles. If so, they should have indeed used a Reo or a Kaiser-Jeep model, as the action apparently takes place in the 1960s. If not, an AM-General is also possible, as it was certainly the easiest model to get in 2001. Trying to obtain the most accurate identification implies taking all details into consideration, for me, or it's just a coin toss and can't then be seriously called an identification.
But whatever the make, we shouldn't neither say "it's a Something" without writing/indicating somewhere that it is a default identification.

Incidentally, Mike932's hysteria about unknown vehicles becomes more and more boring: his last "reactions" occurred after only 10 to 48 hours. Is this such an eternity? :wink:

look nobody cares if an M35 truck was an original Reo or later AM General specially since you cannot tell any difference from outside and it was no role vehicle !

here a CHALLENGE for you , can you find ANY articles or external differences between the original ones (Studabaker, Reo, Kaiser-Jeep etc) and the later AM General ?

cos if NOT you have no point, it's impossible to tell them apart :kaola:

even if by a miracle you can find any info you cannot be sure since this trucks go thru maintance cycles and old parts may have been upgraded

you're thinking to much of badges, emblems etc like civilian trucks, in the military nobody cares about such things, they build straight to the point most of the time using the same blueprints and parts suppliers

some busted ones

here another exemple for Elmer

the M3 Halftrack of WW2

producers
- White
- Autocar
- Diamond T
- Army Ordanance Depot

well the convension here is since they are same they are listed with White as producer, nobody minds that only exception being the International-harvester version since that is significantly different even from outside

Let's say that things won't change: you'll continue to guess, invent things or choose the lazy way just to calm down your phobia, I'll keep on searching to get as accurate identifications as I can (my own neurosis) :smile:

nice straw man :disapointted:

then tell us mighty Elmer, what is this ?

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=830831#VehicleDetails

or is it unknow forever ?

I say Ducato by default and be done , how can you prove it that's not a Fiat Ducato? :kaola:

no badges visibles, front not visible, even wheels not visible

maybe the mighty Elmer can find a statistic which one was sold most with that body and color combination :lol:
