I don't know what it is (yet), but I love the looks of this pickup truck :)

 I think this could be it:

Quote When I lightened the photo somewhat I was able to recognize two of the early SoCalif Plating Company trucks in this 1935 photo. The one on the left, showing only the bumper and front fender is based on an 1932 Ford pick up and the one on the right in the background on an 1931 Ford pick-up. Only very few photos are known to exist of these two cars restyled by George DuVall, and seeing both of them in one photo is really unique.

Quote This photo is possibly taken at the same location as the one above...And on the left we can see in the background another wood sign reading California Plating, most likely from the 1932 Ford pick up.

Even if the subject vehicle wouldn't be based on a 1931 (or 1932) Ford, then it sure looks like one of George DuVall's creations.
