This thread is certainly testing my memory! Commer and Dodge are related.
Back in the early 1980s, when stationed in Germany, I owned a Dodge motor caravan, similar to the one in the photo, which was actually an updated Commer van of the type used in the UK by Post Office Telephones then British Telecom.
One day I was approached by an elderly German in a car park in Celle. “A Dodge” he said with obvious enthusiasm and admiration. “In the war I was in the Afrika Corps in the desert and drove a captured dodge truck. It was the best vehicle i ever drove!”
