...maybe a customized Opel Blitz. |

No, electra. This one is a French fire-truck. Very likely a /vehicle_628986-Laffly-BSSC-3-1950.html but I'd like to find other references. |

A PS (Premier Secours / first aid vehicle) for sure, and a Laffly most certainly. But not a model from the 1950s, as the later models had a kind of plate between the bumper and the fenders and a 2-part windshield with vertical pillars:![[Image: 16720870910_f96a33fd81_n.jpg]](https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8738/16720870910_f96a33fd81_n.jpg "https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8738/16720870910_f96a33fd81_n.jpg") (1950 Laffly BSS C3) Due to the shape of the fenders and to the curved lower part of the windshield pillars, I'd say a pre- or early post-WWII BSS model like one of these: ![[Image: 1938lafflybss.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/1938lafflybss.jpg) ![[Image: prewwiilafflybss-02.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/prewwiilafflybss-02.jpg) (1938 PS Laffly // PS on Laffly chassis - CSP St Dizier) ![[Image: prewwiilafflybss-01.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/prewwiilafflybss-01.jpg) ![[Image: late40slafflybss.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/late40slafflybss.jpg) (Laffly BSS Chassis - Perpignan // PS on Laffly BSS chassis, late 1940s?) -- Last edit: 2015-06-19 04:48:49 |

Ah, fine! Pre-WWII, then. "I have" probably others of the kind. In La kermesse rouge, for instance. I still wonder what we should give as model name. |

Just to be sure: I used the (translated) caption given to the pictures on their original websites: the PS of the 2 first trucks stands of course here for Premier Secours. From what I understood, BSS was apparently the model name of the whole truck line, even for older models. Some closed models of the 1940s and 1950s were apparently known as BSS 163, while the 1950s torpedos and other semi-open body trucks were called BSS C3. About the year: the 1938 model shown in my comment have a steeper cowl slope in front of the windshield: the one of this page looks more like the flatter one of the late 1940s model from Troie, I think. Same thing about the 5 hood vents (or just moldings?), visible in your 2nd thumb (3 similar ones for Troie and Saint Dizier). The problem is that when focusing on each part (windshield, cowl slope, fenders, hood vents/moldings...), the truck of the movie seem to be a mix of the 4 models I found  |

To me—and why I put '1938'—I found the fenders (specially when looking at the left one, on our right) more like this, broom-hum, tremplin de saut à ski like shown on your first '1938'. But you're right about the elements taken one after the other. Damned little French companies making à la main instead of mass-producing them on an unmutable pattern! And I know that if I take a look again at the scene, I won't be able to be sure. Fortunately, I'm right now on two other movies. Maybe should we stick to '1938', understating 38+… |
