Hope it's OK to post here. It's a 1960, so it's vintage for sure!

looks Citroen, well actually IS. C the double chevron on frnt - isnt that the Citroen (french co) symbol?
Never saw one either, amazing. Leave it to the French, no?
This same exact pic seen in da google space:
https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=1960+Citrone+van&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
research (its all right there) will tell if custom (B sides paint) or oem. I think it is the "HY van"
? and Tissler is aftr mrkt like the coach builders (wrk directly w/the big 3 in this country to = ambulances, hears, etc).

Yeah, when I googled Citroën van, another one came up, in white, that was very similar.
It was probably based on the DS6 chassis. I have a good friend who owned a DS6 and an SM for years; he might know more about the Tissier van.

don't know, could B photo-shopped. Several in same exact position, background - just different color/logo on side... "HY" is the corrigated 'ugly' one (Tissier - not sure that reference).. "MrWhitt" came up as I went a lill deeper (a photographer).
Just not sure & will get onto other things right now.
It is interesting, tho,
thnx

Ah, mystery solved.
Apparently the Citroën Tissier van never really existed. It was just a photo shop deal from a guy named Moller. He also did one in white, and also a Panhard van.
Bummer!

Oh, and apparently Tissier was a guy in France who did one-off specials. I think.
