I haven't senn any of these for ages in "real" life. Mind you. When they came out the competition of the VW T1 in its Pickup and delivery truck versions were just too big.
My mom worked for a decorator shop in the early 50s- and she plus a co-worker often went to customers to hang up curtains, deliver wall-paper and even help them being glued to the walls. Their company car was the Tempo threewheeler. Mom's colleague often took curves too sharp and it fell over! Paper-rolls, stepladder...
@Jeansschwimmer ..all shattered about the cobbled street. Well, traffic in a north German provincial town was not in the 1955 what it is now. The car was put on its three wheels again, ladder and stuff thrown on the back again and off they went.
HeHe mate, didn't know you put this on youtube...

Such a cool little truck. According to Wiki, some parts from these were used in an F1 car.

Good work. I'm surprised to see one of these in WA. If you don't mind I've posted a link on my blog
