Hello Bert,
I second your motion on the F4. Do you have any pics of the F5? The pic below is claimed to be an F4 but clearly has a more modern looking cab. I was wondering if it may be an F5 and I'd appreciate your opinion, or that of anyone else here for that matter.

Hi Max,

thanks. Your pic is really interesting. It is a garbage truck for 10 cubic meters on the chassis of the type F 4 with the typical MAN cab, ordered by the town Münster in North Rhine Westfalia.
I cannot say, that I have pics of the type F 5. The problem is, that You cannot say is it the type F 4 or F 5, because they are identical in a technical and visual way. I have found a note, that some customers ordered the chassis without the cab. The cab was then made by a special coach bodybuilder. The cab of Your truck is not made by MAN. So on Your pic is a modern looking cab, but You cannot say that it is the type F 5.
Within the context of the so called Schell plan from 1939 the number of different types of trucks was limited. For the heavy type with 6,5 tons the companies Faun, Krupp, MAN and the Austrian Fross-Büssing should produce a joint product (a joint truck). But by the beginning of the war a new construction could not be realized. So MAN offered now the previous type F 4 as F 5. The motorisation was nearly the same with a 150 hp engine, but with the little bit further developped engine called D 3555 G (beforehand D 3555). So the year of production is decisive for the ID of the type. But only a few F 5 were produced until 1940. Also a license production of this type existed in Austria at Fross-Büssing, first with the designation F 6500 S, then also F 5 like by MAN.

A very pretty car. Italian for sure. Looks very much like a (Pinin)farina design. Those wheelcovers are typical for him. But what car? I checked my library. It could be a Fiat 1500 of ca. 1936. I have a photo of a similar (enclosed) car, with the same headlamps, wheelcovers, bumpers and front fender but a different grille (said to be a very bad car with a very good body). Farina built similar bodies for Alfa Romeo and Lancia.

Feliz Año Nuevo, Raúl. I'm not sure about the first truck you posted. It looks French, maybe a Bernard beute?
Cheers,
Max

Hi Raul & Max:

According to the Reibert Russian site, the French truck is a Renault YFAC of about 1935.

I am still looking for a front view of such a truck, but here is a photo of a 1933 YG model that shows the shape of the grille
with the Renault logo on the right side and the headlamp mounting which were typical Renault ID tips.

Hi guys!
To be absolutely correct: no doubt this is Renault, some model of the mid-30s YF family, but with cab borrowed from Opel Blitz.

Hello Raúl,
To start off, I'd say the bus in the foreground of the first pic is a Krupp OD 3,5 M, however they don't normally have Simplex rims so it may be a variant. In the background the bus is a Magirus.
